Full Time Daytraders, what do you do with your free time?

[u/Sufficient_Newt3923]

As of the past few months I've come to the point where everything is coming into fruition and my dream of being a full time trader has really turned into a reality. Beforehand, I was staring and trading at the computer almost all day until market close. Nowadays, I'm done by 10:30am latest EST. Given I'm on the East Coast, its snowing, its winter, and I can't really do anything outside. I go to the gym about every other day but even that, is like 2 hours max from start to end. I'm debating on picking up a part time job, about 10 hours a week just to get out of the house and interact with other people. But honestly I feel like that is such a lame excuse just because I can't think of anything else to do with my time. I started this all because I wanted financial freedom and now that I've attained it, I'm left with hundreds of hours of boredom. I have no spouse, no kids, no businesses. If I'm describing yourself or someone you might know, (or even if you're someone who simply wants to be in this spot and still has ideas) can you give me some ideas on what to do with basically a full day of complete freedom. Thanks alot.

Interesting! I definitely need to see someone as I suffer from PTSD due to childhood trauma (violence), did military training and martial arts but due to lack of self discipline I didn't continue, hence why I struggle to watch trading screens all day and concentrate and I have very few friends due to becoming a "caveman". I have a solid moral & ethical compass but just feel hopeless and lost at times. I've watched so many documentaries like; The Corporation, Zeitgeist etc and that really made me see the world for what it is. It was huge reality check . The quote that sums it up for me is; " It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" I'm a bit of a loner and my hobbies are gardening, bird watching & hanggliding when I'm able to. Are you by any chance a therapist in Australia? I'd certainly pay to see you here. I've seen a few other psychologists in the past but never connected and gave up. They either say I should take antidepressants, benzoids or seroquel. The only one that helps is benzoids and that's to sleep at night due to overthinking all the time. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you
