What Are Some Activities/hobbies You Indulge In That Help You With Boredom?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have noticed that I have been taking multiple naps throughout the day, just to get through it. When I wake up in the morning all I think about is sleeping. I'm looking for some inspiration of what I could do to help with my boredom. My boredom makes me feel even more depressed which is why I think I have been sleeping so much.
Thank you in advance 😊

What kind of interests do you have? I like to read, do color pages, write in a journal, pet my cat, and take walks when I can. If you can identify some of the things that bring you joy, then try to incorporate them into your everyday life it would make the days more enjoyable.

I love how I feel after walking my dog, but it’s so difficult to get out the door. Are you able to exercise?
I’ve had health problems recently so I can’t do much. I’ve been trying to be creative- fixing things around the house that need repair, scrapbooking, caring for my animals, and enjoying the wildlife in my yard.
Let us know what you’ve found that helps you.

Anything artistic. It doesn't have to be complex. I have been painting rocks. I write nice things on them and hide them around town.
