i wish i had more to do,

i spend too long on my laptop doing nothing and i mean nothing that it is just ridiculous and i hate it, i am lucky if i find something that interests me now, i stopped watching tv and playing video games and i go off things very fast, i am lucky if i can watch a movie,

only thing i have is music and this forum and i really want more to do, even the boredom gets really boring like you know that you are bored when you are bored of actually being bored, i really hope my OT can help,

Have you tried taking up an interesting hobby or maybe you could read?

When I got better at reading short news items, I traded up to magazine articles. If you want to take a break from phones, you can check stacks of older ones out of the library.
Then when I felt bad, I would stick to books of kittens, I guess now you can just google them but there is something real about paper if you can’t have the real ball of fur.

There is always something to be done.

Do what i do when i have nothing to do. Learn about everything

I am in a similar situation where I get bored. I have started a blog, made a couple of small terrariums, and bought a fish tank. I also have been exercising more.

Do any of those types of things interest you?

Wish I was bored.
Say…why don’t you take 5 of my indoor kitties for a month @asgoodasitgets, you’d never be bored.

I’d recommend exercising and exploring things that interest you. Whatever they may be. If applicable, research “it” online, then get out and do the real thing.

Ouch. A little harsh tone, no?

thanks for the suggestions guys but its just you know with ‘normal’ people they seem to always have something to do, people watch box sets of their favourite series on tv or play warcraft or something i mean i use to like tv and games but not now (maybe i just grew up) or maybe its the sz talking but everybody wants to watch starwars and i’m not that bothered with it really,

does anyone else feel this way? like i read peoples profiles on plenty offish and they all say ‘adventurer’ or ‘sporty’ and i’m like “i can’t do that!” or “thats not who i am” like i can’t keep up,

idk what i’m trying to say, most things i like people seem to hate,

Yeah I used to watch anime and play the piano,but since schizophrenia all I do is listening to music or go on forums. I used to always want to play video games but now that I can I don’t even have the energy for that. I can push myself to do things sometimes but I reserve that for studying when I need to. I’m thinking of reading but I probably won’t.

i try to go fishing as often as possible. sometimes it clears my head. I just went bowling . i didnt want to but i was so glad my friends convinced me. i had a great time.
Things like TV and internet really bore me now. i used to be able to sit for hours.

i use to love fishing esp with my dad, he even tried to teach me how to tie my own flies but i never had the patience for it,

i have about 3 fly rods 1 float rod and a few others but i use to have a whole box of lures but my dad lent it out and there was nothing left when he got it back which i thought was really rude and disrespectful i mean if you are lending something out you’d expect to get something back,

but anyway yeah it was fun, never caught anything over 3lbs though :confused: bad luck i suppose.
