Hi,

Anyone else with borderline personality disorder experience intense boredom when you feel like you're not interested in anything and so want to keep busy all the time ? It's like I have a feeling of emptiness I need to fill with anything, be activities or food for example.

Yeah, I'm always bored. But the difference is that, since nothing interests me, I don't want to do anything. I can't find anything to keep busy with.

Same here.... nothing helps with that boredom.

Ditto.. I get bored a lot and although there may a lot of things to do I just have no interest it. Boredom hits me daily.. ;-;

I was reading a good article about boredom yesterday when I was bored trying to figure out what it is and how to "fix" it; apparently it is about stress/anxiety:

I never used to know that it could be borderline that made me so fricking lethargic..
Sometimes I just can't do anything, other times I can manage some. I just don't seem to be able to give it my all like when I was a kid, from being creative, to reading, to gaming, or even bothering to watch tv. The worst is that I constantly feel I am wasting my time and want to use it doing the right productive thing, but that never happens, so I just.. do nothing.

This is exactly what I do, sometimes I just end up staring into space for 15 mins o.o;'

Exactly! I end up doing the same, especially if I am feeling BD. I just sit and stare at nothing, my mind blank or as if there's just static.

:trigger: I think my boredom and intense fear/hatred of boredom led to my past use of weed.

Oh yes!! Yet, anything I do never fills the void so it gets to be a bit of a "why bother"
