51 F Illinois new here
I am 51 years old and live in south Illinois. I am staying with my adult sons and their fluffy adorable cat. I have been diagnosed with bipolar and binge eating disorder. I enjoy birdwatching, lo-fi music, painting and reading. I have numorous physical health problems including diabetes. Looking for all the resources I can, for support and motivation to improve my physical and mental health.

We share many of the same hobbies!
Although, I am quite new to bird watching. But, as a morning person it’s so lovely to wake up and see all the birds chirping! What’s your favorite book genre?💜
@jillwings7. Hi I’m listening to the birds chirping outside as I read this. I like to watch them too. I’ve been finding the support here helpful for my physical and mental health problems. I hope that it will be helpful for you too.
