Do you have any thing like drawing, word puzzles, you are very good at language so crosswords, recently in uk there has been a fashion for colouring books for adults, some are quite complex. I know people who find them very soothing and a good distraction. I met someone who took it a stage further and would paint instead of colour pencils. Walk around the block (or further) take a puzzle and sit in the shopping centre so you can see people, you can get large dot to dot pictures which look very good when finished but don't need much concentration, even read a book somewhere. I have a lot of different activities that I can do and try to have them where I can get them easily so I can swap from one to another. If I don't feel like doing anything, I make myself do something anyway. I always go outside at least once every day, or I would be even more depressed.

Just one or two ideas, the trick is to have lots of things, some harder and some easier so there's always something I can manage (unless I'm so bad I have to phone a helpline)! Spending time on PC is very important to keep me more positive.
