I had a Pdoc who told me to DO. He said it was "behavioural activation" and I just had to force myself to do things. Turns out, I had a severe injury and due to the medications I was on did not feel the true pain of it. DOING IT caused irreparable damage. Are you sure there is not a physical reason your body is saying not to DO?

I am having a bit of the same problem with boredom. The weather is cold here and I am not used to being restricted indoors so much since I left treatment 3 years ago. I was a member here when your husband died, it was such a shock and I am proud to see you still doing so well and caring for your boy. It sucks about the unemployment.

I have had a few days off work this week (in conjunction with PMS too) that have had me feeling like I didnt know what to do with myself. I do know that this will pass and if my body is wanting this much couch time, then maybe it needs it! Have hope the motivation will return.

I have been drawing just with a pen and pad, planning my garden but not doing anything excessive.

Do you watch cooking or crafting tv shows at all? I found Gordon Ramsey week on Masterchef AU quiet effective in encouraging me to cook in extravagant and enjoyable ways.
