Is boredom perhaps a problem?

I've been getting up early and immediately immersing myself in activity - something that engages both mind and body. I do art. It gets me 'free thinking'. I get completely involved in it. So, I've managed to eradicate my morning melancholy.

The afternoons are a bit harder as yes, this is when I get a bit bored. Again though I try to activate my brain. This is when I will do my CBT worksheets, journalling and homework. It takes me about an hour. I will usually then go to the market. I find myself napping afterwards. The CBT work sometimes is hard and takes a lot out of me. I have a daily guided journal too which seems to go hand in hand with the CBT.

You mentioned 'doing CBT'. I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you telling us you are trying to use mindfulness and coping skills or are you referring to the homework involved?

What I am trying to say I guess is to keep your mind occupied.
