Boredom...continued! | ADHD Information

Eliza, your friends sound like potheads! I'm depressed too but I am reluctant to start depending on another drug for it trying to fight it went out and push mowed for excercise when I only felt tonight like laying down and watching the idiot box. ...........

That's true, I'm definitely depressed, but it's more restlessness at having to sit around while my friends want to lie on the couch watching tv.

I want to hop, skip and jump but apparently that is childish.

I often feel bored, or restless (are they the same thing?)

I just feel like I wanna go DO SOMETHING, but I never quite know what that something is.

Problem is I'm sometimes surrounded by apathetic people. They say, ok we'll do something if you think of an activity. But I can't think of anything and they don't make an effort either, so we just end up sitting around doing nothing.

Or they suggest getting a DVD, which to me is boring, boring, boring, sitting around.

I hate that, I need suggestions for things to do!

 

 

I try to make a list of fun stuff to do when I get bored at the house. Like going to a store I have always wanted to try or taking my Son to a new park. When I am bored, I force myself to chose from the list and just do it. I always feel better after I force myself to get up and get out. I love museums & amusement parks and those neat renaissance festival things were no one looks normal hehe.Boredom I have found for me is really the mask of depression. Once I got my depression under control I found life a lot less boring. Might want to take a depression profile.
