Its the weekend argh! I never know what to do with myself at the weekends. Thats alot of thinking time    ....I work during the week and I guess that structure and focus on something else really helps but I unravel just a wee bit at the weekends or any kinda break. I try and cycle, do bits of art, read and watch LOTS of TV, but sometimes motivation is right outta the window! I guess daytimes are more manageable but nights are so not good..and this weather SUCKS grrr. I don't have much money or many mates so its mostly me myself and I...

Last Sunday night I had a bit of a meltdown, and did a fantastic job of thinking of all the terrible things that are surely to happen (because the power of knowing the future is strong in this one).


Anyone else get this? What do you do to try and combat it?

your not alone,i get it aswell. it's always a great feeling on fridays as works finished for a few days, but then i never know what to do with myself. the few friends i do have never want to go out anywhere so alot of my saturday nights are spent flicking through tv channels. i'm trying at the moment to learn to play the keyboard, i think that helps. so maybe a hobby to help occupy the time? ive been setting an hour in the day to play it so it becomes part of my routine. ive thought of joining a club of some sort that meets up on saturdays, but i don't think i'm ready for that

Hey Sandy,

I'm also trying to get out there and join some groups, but the idea kinda stresses me out! I seem to have lots of hobbies, prob is I get a bit bored of them all after a while or I get stuck in a loop of 'whats the point of it?' (cos I mostly paint or do something creative which is just more stuff hanging around in my small flat, not doing much...). Its my head space I need to work on really. But saying that, I did manage to do some knitting yesterday. Am so crap at it, I only seem to manage squares lol, however it did the job last night and, if I can keep with it, I hope to have a blanket...in about a years time 

Learning the keyboard sounds cool, wish I was musical in some way. Hope you had a relaxing weekend.

hi cyclegirl,
just thought i'd let you know of a segment i've just completed on livinglifetothefull.com on overcoming reduced activity. it seems quite good, you get goals to set and there's audio of someone explaining everything. knitting sounds cool, i've never been able to knit without making holes! hope the blanket goes well and hope you had a relaxing weekend aswell.
