Bored to death

I feel so Bored!
Crashing on the couch or stuffing my face with food!
Nothing gives me pleasure, just waiting for time to pass - Vegging Out.

Any one feel like this too?

I feel the same at times but not all the time. I have my parents to look after that keeps me busy. But once in awhile I do get bored and all I would do is sleep. Which is not good because I would end up awake at night. Then a cycle begins being awake at night and being bored .

Try varying your routine or try something different like take a walk or get some fresh air. That helps me at times.

I help take care of my aging parents also.
But a lot of my time is spent being inactive and bored.
I really think that it has to do with my increased med dose.

Do you assist them in making lunch or dinner. Make a healthy food choices for them and yourself it does wonders to help your mentality also that your giving your body good things that will help your mind also. Adding salads to your meals and fresh vegetables like broccoli and asparagus. Try different vegetables you have not tried before it helps. What you put in your body makes all the difference in the world. It may not seem like it but after awhile you will get mental clarity.

I recently suffered a pretty intense Psychotic Break and was Hospitalized, so my psychiatrist is keeping me on higher doses of meds.
Its keeping me out of the Hospital but is also worsening my Negative Symptoms.
I’m hoping that she decreases the meds a little, once I’m 100 percent.

Consider finding a hobby. My mind gets restless if I do any one thing for too long, whether its my work at home part time job or watching tv.

I’m trying to decide what book to write, one on my schizophrenic journey or the one man one vote vs electoral college.

Yea I do but I try to do little things every day.
Since my depression is lifting I’ve wanted to do more and more. The antipsychotics are an obstacle to this because of the negatives. I hate the antipsychotics.
I’m hoping that I can come off of them someday or better yet they will find out with one that’s tolerable.
In the meantime I walk my dog, get coffee, go to therapy and go to AA meetings at night.
I need a job badly but I’m not quite there yet.

I’ve been bored lately. It is hard to stay at home to do chores. I just get the urge to leave.
