A pdoc once hinted at the idea that work was symbolic of something unacceptable and that this is why we don’t like to do it. So I am working on that and thinking to myself “see me work” to give myself credit and not to hide.
Take a walk while doing nothing.
Listen to music while you are doing nothing.
Sit and talk to whoever is near you while doing nothing.
Do these things enough and you will be doing something.

I’m just getting started doing nothing 
I’ve accepted the time on my hands and just either sleep or listen to music in most of my time. I talk to Angie when she’s home but most of the time she’s playing bingo on facebook in her room.
Keep up the good work, soitgoes, lol.

Work fascinates me! I can sit around and watch it for hours - Something my mum use to say all the time.
Maybe take up a hobby . Knitting, doll making, tai chi, Scrap booking the list is endless.
Rather than the pdoc’s idea, I think it is more that I thought I couldn’t.
Yeah got it now. Insomnia last night so haven’t slept yet.
Work is a pain in the as* but its worth doing. I enjoy being on a crew and doing my job fast and good. If you are going to work, you have to put up with other peoples BS. That’s just the way it is, but I still manage to have conversations with my co-workers.

Doing nothing isn’t possible.
Something is always going down.

It could very well just be seasonal. During the hottest & coldest days of the year, I tend be very physically & mentall inactive. I’m still adjusting to my new medications as well. I hope to never need a med-switch ever again, and just learn to adapt & overcome any of the side effects.
A lot of my “nothingness” feelings come from medication, for off medication I feel like I should be conquering the world full-steam.
