Okay so the medication I was put on is working but lately I feel pain and lonely I want people to be with me nearly half the day. Christmas is coming and I want to be happy and cheerful and obviously good for Santa. Does anyone have any tips on how to be happy during the next few weeks till Christmas???

Do you live alone or with other people?
This is from my own personal toolkit on how to be happy / live a life worth living / manage my symptoms - you may find it helpful, or you could add your own stuff  : laugh (watch something humorous on YouTube everyday), connect with others by interacting with those in my bubble, showing up to zoom appointments / groups, calling someone on the phone. Helping someone else. Practice my values and spirituality. Exercise. Distract myself by tidying up, reading, doing something creative.

Thank you so much Ill try and finish my Sunday Dinner tonight and have a shower before bedtime.
 I can't believe the medication is making me feel so tired and lazy but today I was allowed a "day off" once a week I can choose any day to stay indoors and not do anything so that "day off" was today and I didnt want to do much I find sleeping alot especially on a Sunday helps me the next day. Going to look up some videos on youtube to cheer me up before dinner time,.

I like the idea of a "day off" to do nothing and rest. Enjoy the videos!

My tip is. Maybe you cannot be in front of family but you can text them, call them, email them, etc. I havent seen my family in months but i text and call and email them.
