Depressed senior Mum and son, ideas ?

[Surfer85]

Hi everyone, long story short: im a BD, GAD, diagnosed (md diagnosed before) single man living with my 80 years old Mum, she has PTSD and MD, we live alone since my Dad left and i try to do as much as i can to cheer up Mum, and help around, our illness i recognize, end up our social life, i think we make ends meet as we can, so we cant have all the luxury ideas some websites recommend, like : "travel to another country and enjoy" ,so i really want to put in practice some simple ideas like to feel more entertained and happier while doing things together, i tell you, sometimes i like to drive to near towns we dont know to feel a bit of adventure, we play nice relaxing songs, we have lunch, and i think we feel better, any ideas ?or is someone in my situation? thanks in advance!

Surfer85, it must be very comforting for your mother to have your support

and understanding since you both struggle with mental health issues.

I think it's a great idea for both of you to enjoy some getting out time and

adventure to what ever degree you both can benefit from. Go for it and enjoy

your time together. xx
