Definitely so. I mean every single Sunday we all gathered at my grandmas. Doesnt really help I cant call her often because of the price and she cant call me cause shes blind and cant see the numbers. For once Im actually open to seeing a psychiatrist, the problem is that without insurance its so pricey. Ill look around.
I really should take up a hobby, I just dont know what. I tried painting but gave up cause frankly, I suck at it and cant see myself getting better. Think I saw pottery classes nearby. Never really thought of them before but anything will work at this point. I wanted to volunteer but like I said everything is far away and Id end up spending quite a bit of money to go somewhere where I work for free so its not very cost effective. Wouldve definitely liked to help at an animal shelter though.
If you haven't done so already, I would look into Google Hangouts (or Voice, if that's available in Canada). Calls to Mexico are 2 Canadian/minute, excluding mobile numbers. That should make it possible to call at least a few times a week.
I thought psychiatrist visits would be covered by the free healthcare they have in Canada.
As for a hobby, just pick something you have any interest in. Doesn't matter how bad you may be at it, as long as you're having fun doing and learning about it. The main thing is socializing with others in the group. The hobby is just an ice breaker. A lot of the friends I made in high school was, because I got to know them while playing football.
It wouldn't hurt to search online for volunteer opportunities. They may be some that would interest you, but you just never heard of them.
Why do when you can just Skype these days or whatsapp ---
