Just wondering if anyone has a lot of boredom and depressive thoughts from not being able to go outside and be active and feeling totally useless and nothing interests you anymore--Aaaarrgh!!! I really just can't stand myself.

hi tessa,
bored yes. depressed no. it used to get me down but i learned to be content with what i can do and focus on that aspect of my life. as i am able to do less i remind myself there are still things i can do sometimes. just in smaller doses and less often.
i found for myself meditating for hours a day fills the "boredom time" in a soothing way. i often go "away" for hours at a time. it fills the day with thinking of others and their needs. i still paint and take pictures when the magic flows.
peace,
blue

I remember going thru that. I call it my own personal pity party. It does pass, but you have to get proactive and fight back. I forced myself back out into the world and after a bit my attitude got better.
I learned that I'll never be what I once was and do what I can when I can and not have guilt trips when my husband has to step up and do more cause I can't. My new motto is, life is what it is and make the best of the bad deal I was handed.

Hi TessaAnne, I do get bored and very depressed. I do get out a walk my dog per drs. orders. It helps with my pain. Maybe you can contact your local health clinics to get into thearpy that has really helped me. I have FIBRO along with Cervical Arthritis and Major Depression. It's not fun I'm still trying to accept it and I'm working on it. I miss all of the things I used to be able to do. I now go to the library and read more which I enjoy. I hope u find something that does interests you. Gentle Hugs!!!! - Laura

Ugh, always to much to do, never bored. Frustrated today. I've been gone every day. Loved floating in my parents pool! I'm usually stuck in the house trying to get stuff done & going outside to only take care of animals. But, I've been popping Tramadol & IB Profren to get through it so I can enjoy the sun. I'm soooo paying for it, so grumpy. The house is a disaster cause we haven't been home, so have allot to do today, but feel like crap. Hopefully I'll get some stuff accomplished...
My 2 oldest are supposed to be with their dad for summer vacation, 1 week. But, my oldest didn't want to stay, so picked her up yesterday, supposed to be there till Friday. So, she gets to help me get the house clean
I'm in the same boat. Been stuck at home for 6 months with nothing to do, and no energy to try and do the things I love. It makes a person depressed. I have yet to accept my Fibro and how it has changed my life, but I know that I have to work through all of these emotions and then I can work forward. You can do the same and we can both learn how to see the happy things in life, k?
