I am bored and getting depressed. My mind wanders constantly and at its own will. I wish my ADHD meds would get off backorder. Job search motivation at an all time low without them. Actually kinda Happy I got fired because I wouldn't have stopped otherwise. Plus at this point I can sleep...eating is still rough. Any ideas to distract? Good shows, movies books? Appreciate y'all🫡

I started drawing, and painting. I always liked it when I was younger but never did it in adulthood.. it's a game changer for me. Keeps my mind occupied. While I binge what shows on Netflix. Lol

Have you thought about inviting some buddies from AA over to watch movies together. Company tends to make me feel better.

Go for the drawing, Shaan!
( I am not consistent in relation to art )…while I loved drawing and writing as a kid.
I do paint here and there, these days.
I would love to be more consistent with yes, drawing, painting, art-overall.
I have become pretty obsessed with Rich Roll’s podcast.
He has been in recovery for a while.
Not every interview focuses on recovery…while it comes up.

Other suggestions:
Walking, getting out into Nature if possible.
Trying out things like breathwork, meditation, yoga ( many people write these things off - why? )…they have helped many and are great in relation to bringing yourself back to the present moment.
They also help in regards to cravings, anxiety.
You get the pic!

Exercise, healthy cooking and eating, self care, spring cleaning. All things to keep you busy and benefit your situation. Puzzles like word searches, crosswords, and sudokus also helped me a lot.

I used to be fed adhd medication. I do know it is amphetamine they feed you unless it is non narcotic. I would go for non narcotic adhd meds. Then you will be able to sleep and eat. Adderall is just dextroamphetamine. If you take a urine test while on it, it will show up as meth.
