I know I've made a thread like this before, but it is something I'm struggling terribly with. I'm not working (not for lack of trying) right now and I have oodles of free time. Others would find this wonderful, but it is what put me in the hospital back in november. I was on vacation from work for two days and couldn't handle being alone, being bored, etc. It leads to my bad coping behaviors like drinking and cutting. It leads to me feeling abandoned when people don't want to spend time with me.

I'm trying hard to use skills, but I can't distract myself at all. I feel like I should be doing something other than the thing I'm doing, but I don't know what that is. I feel empty. Bored. Useless. Etc.

Anyone have any suggestions or feel similar?
