Does anyone have a daily routine they follow? Does it help at all having a schedule everyday, and stuff to do throughout your day? I pretty much just wake up, drink coffee, take medications, and watch TV all day. I know I need to add more to my routine it is just hard to do it seems.

Monday to Thursday I get up, get ready, go to college, come home do nothing. Friday I do the same but get up earlier for work experience at a preschool. Weekends I don't do anything unless my friends want to do something or if my mum and sister want to go to town and I tag along for something to do. I used to work Saturdays and sometimes Sundays but that was a Christmas temp position so I need to find something else now, I guess I can add job hunting to my routine. The only things I really schedule in is green tea in the morning, cranberry tea in the evening and a bath. I take everything else as it comes really

I feel ya there its so hard to build into a routine and continue to do it for me at least. The only thing that seems to stay is drinking coffee and taking medications. Watching TV is just something that happens so I have background noise going all the time. I cant stand silence, but I don't want anyone to talk directly to me if that makes sense. Sometimes I have music on for background noise also. Tea sounds like something I might be able to add. I do enjoy a nice cup of tea every so often.

Yeah, I used to try and make routines but I could never stick to them. My mornings are all more or less the same though, wake up, get dressed, breakfast and tea, do my makeup and hair and watch gmb till I have to get my bus. Everything else is a bit chaotic though lol. And yeah that makes sense, I usually always have the tv on even if I'm not watching it, silence is just weird.

The silence is strange! There is a sound to silence and it is eerie to me. Like a high pitched nothingness hah. Maybe we can work on getting daily routines and sticking with them. We have tons of support here so it is possible. Its a struggle everyday between living and wanting to CTB. Sigh we will get there right?

I go through phases of short-lived motivation where I try to do something productive. It's usually vain in nature - working out, whitening my teeth, something like that. Of course, I always give up after a while because I always fall back into this mindset of "what's the point of doing anything?" It's as if deep down I know nothing I do matters and won't be seen by anyone other than maybe 3 people so there's just no incentive. As far as keeping any kind of timetable or having a daily structure, I gave up on that years ago. I think on some level it might be beneficial, but the lazy, misanthropic side of me always wins. I do the bare minimum to keep myself reasonably sane and healthy, and beyond that I don't care.

I get the same thing! (I think) Like a weird ringing noise in your ear? I could add some things to my routine, I want to start a dance class soon so that's something. I couldn't live completely on schedule though, I'd probably get bored of it and feel trapped. And yeah I'm sure we'll both be able to make some progress in it :)

I get up, brush my teeth, get dressed for the day, and eat breakfast (or lunch if I wake up late). Then I always check to make sure my method is untouched (my firearm stored in a gun case and hidden in my bedroom). Afterwards, I do my usual daily routine of playing video games, listening to music (video game music and stuff), daydream about ctb, and what not. Nothing much interesting my life.
