Hi! How have you been doing? @enigma72
I have had better days bestvase, how are you?
I am doing okay, just a little too busy.
But tell me what is going on with you. I will definitely respond if you want to use this as a place to vent a bit.
I get on once a day, every day so I am pretty regular (though 7 Cups did prevent me from getting on yesterday). But I'd love to get to hear more of your story. @enigma72
@enigma72
Fellow bored person here.. always looking for someone interesting to talk to. Hit me up if you are bored again, either here or penpal community.
Where can I find the pen pal community? I have noticed we can't chat one on one 😩
@enigma72
so it is a community you can join. Then you can create a new thread and add who you want to join in.. So it's a chat- only private by people voluntarily not looking so don't give any state secrets :)
I am also bored. I have been off work due to depression and have too much free time to fill. However, I am taking it as a positive as the feeling of boredom is infinitely better than depression and I am hoping this is a step forward in my recovery. Now thinking “how can I fill my day? “whereas previously it was “how can I get through the day.?”
It is very much a step forward. What kinds of things are you doing to fill your time now? @EnglishPaul0720

Thanks for the message.
I've been doing lots of walking, reading, puzzles, started a couple of online courses. Also started running (something I never previously imagined myself doing)
What an excellent plan of things to do. Those really do work, but you need to give them lots of time. You can get out of this phase, but it is slow. Keep looking and counting any good moments you see. Your brain is healing. For me, it felt like after a while I popped out the other side. I could still fall and get broken again, but I had the tools to pick myself up. @EnglishPaul0720
@bestVase7265
Thanks for the encouragement and so pleased you came through the other side.
I seem to have gone backwards the last couple of days. I think that’s due to a deterioration in the weather after sunshine last week. Nobody said this is going to be easy
The weather can set you back a bit. What kinds of things do you try to do for yourself when the weather gets bad? @EnglishPaul0720
@bestVase7265
Hmmm still figuring that out. Today I went for a walk in the rain. I didn’t melt !
I do like a nice rainy walk. We are due to be hit with massive storms tomorrow though. Not being able to walk in a straight line or see in the rain would not be a good idea. @EnglishPaul0720
Can keep u company if you don't mind
