Discussion What do you do to pass the time?

[SweetDreams500]

I need suggestions

 

[motel rooms]

Develop a porn addiction

 

[WornOutLife]

Work, study, SS and watch lots of stuff on YouTube (I'm obsessed with life, death, religion vs atheism and universe videos lol)

Now, you probably don't feel like doing anything right? Depression loves to make us feel like that.

Well, start with something basic. Look for a book, movie, series you might like! There are LOTS OF THEM out there! You gotta enjoy something sooner or later!

Then, look for a hobby. It could be anything! I have a friend who started practicing Kundalini Yoga and he looks amazing now! (some years ago he got his heart broken because of his ex gf and didn't even want to leave his house).

Last but not least, the hardest part: WORKING.

Don't look for slave jobs which will only make you feel worse. Try to do something you can do from home such as completing online surveys or typing captcha (I know a guy who makes a living like this!)

Or you could do what another friend of mine did, watch programming videos on YouTube and become a freelance programmer!


However, the first step is to start with small things as I said at first.
Just try to have a shower and clean everyday and then do the rest.

Hugs and love,

Matt

Lately it's hard to keep my mind focused on the things I like, so it's kinda tough... but I spend most of my days listening to music, I feel like the time runs faster. When I'm extremely sad, I like to watch cute videos with animals and stuff, it helps me a lil bit as well. Maybe you can try to learn a new hobby, watch tutorials about things you don't know yet? Like a different language.

 

[All Things Must Pass]

Stare at fucking screens, hours on end, day in day out.

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

Literally all I do is be on my phone, eat because of boredom, and sleep. I'm on my phone every hour of the day probably, and eat more than I should because of boredom. :/ I am very sick so my options are quite limited

 

[BandAddict]

I sleep, get on SS, watch movies with my mom, sometimes go to the store with her, or watch easy-to-digest videos and such. Or I just lay in bed or sit around and dissociate when I'm not stuck in thought loops and all that shit.

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

worry

 

[Bauhaus]

- Watching movies & series, especially the latter now since there are barely (good) new movies released.
- Listening to music, especially playlists on YT.
- Playing videogames on PC, though it gets increasingly harder to focus.
- Most of the time worrying, no future perspective.

 

[signifying nothing]

watching dvds, playing odd games on my phone, SS, going on random walks, geocaching, sitting/lying and trying to rest my mind...

 

[sadghost]

Sleep as much as possible at night + play video games as much as possible during the day

 

[Pookie]

Sleep, try and study, sleep, watch some TV in the evenings if I don't feel too bad. But the oblivion I get from sleep is the best. That's why the forever sleep is calling my name.

I agree, I suffer from insomnia and sleep is a real godsend, at least you don't have to worry all the time when you're asleep...

You're lucky you don't have nightmares

 

[Bauhaus]

You're lucky you don't have nightmares

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried antidepressiva ? Most of them suppress REM sleep (aka dreaming) so they might help with nightmares.
Or you could try reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) extract which increases deep sleep and suppresses REM sleep.

 

[RedHarlequin]

I have a really bad anhedonia so nothing interests me even music or tv series or movies. It's awful. I just take sleeping pills and alcohol so I can sleep and don't have to be awake. I sleep around 14 hours a day.

 

[DoodleBug]

Exist, half-ass hobbies, smole weed, gaming and tv shows

 

[ExhaustedExistence]

When I don't want to do anything I just sleep. If I could I would sleep all day.

 

[lumipallo]

Force myself to study things I don't want to. That or lie on the floor and stare at the ceiling.

 

[ClownMe]

I usually just browse reddit

 

[RedHarlequin]

I also get drunk so things seem moore interesting.

 

[Aloken]

Read on my Kindle, watch realities, browsing SS.

 

[Amumu]

I study and I work.
If I didn't study and didn't work, I would ctb directly since I would think about the meaningless of life all the time.
Have you heard of Blaise Pascal and distraction?
Study and work seem to save my life so far. God bless study and hard work. Maybe they'll save me. And drugs too.

 

[FuneralCry]

I don't do much really, I do always go outside a bit everyday and I visit the cemetery as it is nice and peaceful. I spend time with my cat, but I am mostly trapped in my own thoughts and I look forward to sleep. I used to be into music a lot but tinnitus ruins the enjoyment of headphones.

I wish I could go and spend some time in cemeteries..

 

[Nigh]

Read autobiographies
On the internet every other hour
Try to clean my room
Eat, eat, eat
Think about suicide methods

I've been trying to get into electronics as a hobby, but it's kinda confusing for me and I don't have the money to buy the parts :/

That's me,

Oh, I get it... Well, electronics seems to be quite tricky if you ask me hehe so I don't blame you for your confusion! I wouldn't lose my interest if I were you. Is there any alternative for you to keep studying it? Especially when it comes to money. Like a place that sells used parts, or maybe a renting store? Sorry if I'm sounding dumb, I don't know how electronics work
