Not feeling great.

So I left college in July 2014. Kept looking for work, kept getting interviewed by a few peeps, then nothing. Couldn't get an apprenticeship because the companies I applied to are fucking hypocritical morons. Last year seemed kinda okay, I had work. But I had to quit due to illness. Illness is the big factor in this post. I have a lifelong condition. I have worked various times but cannot maintain it because I am physically incapable of maintaining it. Even the easier jobs I applied to I could not get. This year, I haven't done anything because I am stuck on welfare which doesn't allow me to work. But I want to work, which would mean my welfare stops. And guess what? I won't have backup money to fall on if I get ill - which is frequently. The main symptoms are fatigue and pain.
What can I do with my time? I write, which helps keep me thinking I guess. I studied aircraft engineering but there is no opportunities and even if I got one I'd lose it because I could not maintain the work. Any advice on what I can do with this time to develop myself? It's hard and today I feel like going crazy.

Interested in cultivating mushrooms? I find I can pour myself into it when work is slow, but still maintain grows when things pick up.

Yes I have done this before a few times. But cultivating mushrooms isn't getting me anywhere. I still have some in storage but I don't feel like having them tbh.

Find yourself some hobbies...
Cultivating shrooms isnt bringing you anywhere

I have hobbies. I lost respect for you when you insulted me on the other thread.
I'm hoping someone will come along and comment, a person in a similar situation.

No matter what our situation in life, we all have to decide how to spend our time.
In general I find doing anything that's outward focused more satisfying than inward.
I spend a lot of time playing Frisbee and games with the neighborhood children.
The more inward I focus, the more isolated I feel. I think human connection is critical to well being.

Would you ever be interested in programming? There are SO many free courses and communities (reddit has a lot)to get started. It takes up as much or as little time as you like and break into a career field where working from home is an option sometimes.

I would be yes, it never crossed my mind though. I will look online for some free courses.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Travel all over, for free since money would no longer be a problem. I'd be setting up a base in the jungle near all the animals - if they are still here.
I can't do that because I would have to pay for flights and accommodation...

The world is a jungle. No matter where you live, even in a big city, living creatures are all around you.
I've had many pets in my life. Freshwater fish, crawdads, hermit crabs, birds, and a plethora of plants and insects.
Right now I have a black widow spider in a flask at work on my desk that I caught a year ago, outside.
I feed it once a month, meal-worms, which I also raise.
The world is your oyster.

I think it's cool about having something so close to you! 
I need to connect more with animals also, it always makes me feel better. Life is just not going right atm for me.
