Bored. Out of my mind.

I don't know what else to do. Now that I have finished watching Bleach and caught up with Naruto + One Piece, I don't know what else to go to...

I have videogames, yes, but for some reason I try to block those out so that I can do other things in life. So I'm not really playing much of those.

I don't really have any other hobbies besides that.

So I'm very bored and have nothing to aspire to.

(things like getting a car, license, job, aren't as motivating but I'm TRYING to get those, aka too lazy to do so, but I know I should start soon)

Re: Bored. Out of my mind.

When I get bored, I daydream. This usually results in some topic I get curious about....then I research it.


Can you go for a walk or run?

Re: Bored. Out of my mind.

I guess a walk could work. I really do like seeing the sky and environment sometimes and just get dissapointed I don't see it much because I'm always inside. (I really like my views hehe)

and heh about being bored at work. I have also been bored on the job during a slow pace, which was usually most of the time since I was a custodian. Was not challenging enough.

if you are interested in birds....birding is a great way to get out and get your mind active on a task.

Re: Bored. Out of my mind.

Yes, go outside and take a walk... is the right thing to say

The adhd side says check out blood brothers, chrono crusade, blood, dessert punk, trigun, gun x sword, or the most gruesom Beserk; if you haven't seen any, which you probably have.

I don't condone any though, I broke my pc habit and use in moderation now. Walking is a daily routine with the young one.

Re: Bored. Out of my mind.

I'm bored too. Not long before dinner time so I have that to look forward to. I usually just play video games or be on forums. I'm trying to cut down on my Facebook usage and now I need to fill that void.

At 5pm I don't really want to go outside or do anything really. My last dosage for the week has worn off so I'm not likely to be wanting to do anything. My brain is failing too.

I have LoL, PSO2, and Minecraft on my comp (stepmania as well) but I don't bother with them if I lose interest for a while.

And I don't really use facebook much. It's more of a 'get back in contact' kinda thing for me.

Re: Bored. Out of my mind.

I started birding by just observing birds every day. Even if it was while I was walking outside, driving, etc. If I didn't know the name of it, I would look it up. (You can either look online or a fieldguide.....I use fieldguides).

Then I started going on short hikes, with my field guide, and seeing how many birds I could identify and adding new ones to my list.

If I get stumped, I take a pic and show my birding friends online and get some help.

I like the challenge, but also the "wandering." I go at my own pace, follow my own interest at the moment.

Binoculars help a lot, obviously. You don't need a fancy pair at first.

Re: Bored. Out of my mind.

I agree with birding - you can't rush it and I find that helps me to relax. The fresh air never hurts either!
