What do you do on the slow boring days?
Today I've felt so hollow. I feel like I haven't done anything. I stayed in bed when I woke up for about an hour and now I feel like I've just been sitting around letting time go by. I don't know what to do. I don't feel like I have energy. I just feel empty and depressed. What do you do on days like this?
Hello @Voitettu, thanks for sharing how you feel and I'm sorry you're feeling pretty lousy. I hope it's gotten a bit better for you in the days since you wrote last.
To answer your question, when I feel empty, bored, unmotived on some days, I try to do the opposite of how I feel. For me, that means getting active or get social. I put on my earphones and go out for a long walk to anywhere or nowhere while i listen to songs or podcasts. After some time passes, I start to feel a little better. Exercise releases some natural mood-enhancing chemicals and the music often helps me to re-script my day from the low point where I began.
Making myself socialize when I'm feeling depressed isn't easy but I find that most of the time, the presence of a friend or two makes me feel much better than I anticipated it would. Something about socializing gets me out of my head and it reminds me that I have value to people. I hope this answers your question and feel free to ask if you have more.
