I don’t do anything. I sleep. Eat. Work. And listen to my kids argue. Not sure if it’s seasonal or what but just feel super depressed.

Felt like that yesterday. Try to refocus. I drove around and looked at Christmas lights

Seasonal depression is real! I have been feeling it as well. And with the holidays coming up… it is just all around a hard time of the year. Stay strong. This will pass.

Whenever I reach points like that I take on something new whether it’s a hobby or a rewarding responsibility. I’d rather be busy than bored personally.

I understand.. I get up and take care of my animals.. get them fed and and their beds cleaned.. clean litter box and I do laundry and dishes.. and I sit and watch tv.. I do errands for my sister who has both legs amputated.. it seems like I never get thru with helping other people and work around the house.. it’s like I have no life of my own.. I get more depressed everyday.. I don’t want to drink but I’d love to be happy.. instead of being too tired to enjoy life..
The holiday season usually October-December are the worst. Hang in there...
I feel this too! Any down time feels like waisted time. Meeting keep me going
Me too. The full moon for sure, very intense this week. The holidays for sure. The tense energy that we’ve all been feeling globally for two years …everything from Covid to Ukraine. There is a lot going on I think binge-rewatching Last Man on Earth is okay now and then ( oh, that’s just my “go to” ha!) You’ve got this!!!!
Sobriety is not exciting at all. But it is worth it in the long run.
Find some sober peeps to hang with
I disagree! I love having a routine and structure in my life… i work come home and listen to my kids argue every single day and yes it’s stressful… but before I got clean I was the one doing all the hollering and complaining and taking stuff out on them that I shouldn’t have.. they avoided me !! But while I was in rehab I took parenting classes and I learned a lot from them… kids argue…. It sucks… but my kids are happy and they are taken care of and that is exciting to me… I don’t want my children to grow up to be addicts so I’m trying to be the best I can for them!!! Keep ur head up knowing that they will grow up and move out one day 
but teach them to be different than us!
Yes…boredom is dangerous in our world. Been there and have to force myself to find sober activities! Hope it gets better for you!
