I am on disability currently and I can confirm it gets old after a while.

That's why they said "a day" and not every day.

I think it depends on the personality. I had a ~3 month lull due to the pandemic and it was the greatest. The worst part about it was not knowing when I’d get the call to go back. Doing nothing but gaming, eating, sleeping? Brilliant.

I'm the same, so many I know are always afraid of having nothing to do. Me? I love the everliving shit out of that. I had 2 months of work cuz I broke my hand(and complications with the healing) and it was literally the best 2 months of my life after hitting 20.

I'm part of a union that goes through slow slumps, ended up spending months at home. No real money to do anything, no real motivation either.

It was cool the first month. Months 2 and 3 had me itching for that call from work telling me that they had a job for me to go to.

Arguably it’s the “no real money to do anything” that messed you up.

That and the reason for my disability is mental so it is difficult to enjoy much of anything with ADHD, anxiety, and treatment-resistant depression.
