I feel so restless, like I want to go somewhere. I want a real friend to hug. I really want to drink... Today was a demanding Monday. Work was really difficult. I've been working until now. And now I'm bored. I wish I could just unwind easily....

I'm trying my coping skills, rationalizing and thinking things through. Breathing, mindfulness. Waiting for the restless boredom to pass.

A little back and forth in my head like, why'd you go and throw out all those "friends" phone numbers?

Well, because they aren't really a good influence.

How stupid to want to drink, I know it couldn't lead to any good. But then again if I had a little store nearby, or a "friend", I could easily just have a beer and chill out.

Going out of town felt so liberating, I was working, but it was really nice to get away from the kids and the messy house.

I have nowhere to go, so better just take klons tonight so I can sleep. Sleep sounds boring I don't want to sleep! Ugh.

Ohhhh Blue,

Can you focus on anything ? yoga? a book? or maybe run around your backyard or front or block to help burn a bit of this off?
pets to play with ? silly movies to watch . bubble bath? give yourself a manicure and pedicure. Any food at home that you adore? if so have a few big bites .

Please stay safe my friend

I agree with Christina, distraction is key...
When I can't sit still, I play some air guitar along to blaring metal! Once the album is over, I'm tired enough to sit still for a bit... also I trick myself with the music, I let the metal gradually slow down, and without my noticing I'm unwinding...

I have to be sneaky like that or I'd sleep a week a month in total...

Hope you find something to do

Good ideas, thank you Christina Did a little yoga but it was sloppy... So changed to jumping jacks til I was out of breath. Took a klon and a benadryl. Turning off Fight Club, not so relaxing of a show! Frustrating these cravings I get during hypo that I'd be fine without otherwise. Looking for self medication maybe? A hot tub and beer would be so nice right now.

Welcome.

Oh Oh Just thought of one other thing that may work ... Get a big bag of balloons and every time you are like this ,blow them up and dont stop until you are wheezing ( lol ) .. recover a bit and start batting them all over the place , brought back memories of being a kid . See how many you can keep up in the air at once ..
