I am extremely bored too.
I have considered returning to work but I realize I would return to a life full of abject fear and debilitating stress (I have a deplorable record of work in that I simply can't maintain emloyment).
I try to walk a lot. I have a big problem though that I can't stand this prairie city. Walking around this community only drives home the pining away for my former home in the mountains.
So what do I do?
I volunteer once or twice a month.
I try to schedule at least one activity each week (other than my support group)
I try to go out for one treat per week (ie. coffee shop)
I space out my chores to one per day
I grocery shop only as needed every day or two.
I make myself read at least one chapter daily.
I complete a CBT worksheet weekly
I cook a decent meal every other day.
I call/make contact with at least one friend/aquaintance daily
What I don't do is write in a journal. The feeling of boredom seems to encourage me to ruminate.
