I play games on the computer, knit, sew, read. It depends on my mood.

[Jan1212]

Forums, play/be social with my baby(takes up the whole day), bake, read, sew, video games, clean

[detachedangst]

Read, knit, TV and jigsaw puzzles

internet forums, reading, watching movies, throwing stuff out after it's been sitting around for years, unused.

I read about BPD...but that depresses me even more...I want to learn more about who I am and understand why I am like I am...and then I start arguing with myself trying to convince myself that I am not psychotic and argumentative and down right uncontrollable. The more I try and understand what makes my brain tick the more crazy I feel. I woke up this morning and felt incredible. As the morning has progressed, I am in a whirlwind of emotions for no apparent reasons. And I too sit at home, no job with nothing to do.

Have you considered setting some goals? It's difficult for those of us with BPD traits, but it's still important. My current goal is to finish a college degree.

Yoga , work, gym, baking I love making brownies and flapjacks xx hope u find some ideas useful !!!

Mine too. I'm 2 years away from getting my degree

It does help. I've just reached a familiar crisis point where I'm feeling empty, and despairing and it's one of the few things I have to cling onto. It helps that it's entitrely objective and not social or relying on other people. I've started reading so much more since I started my course and this often calms me down and gives me a sense of control missing in my chaotic social life.

I am also going back to studying aswell as working so my day will be taken up more ! Oh and am retaking up judo <3 I miss it

Computer, listen to music, clean, exercise...those are my tools to get me through my lone time.

[Lefty_Mac]

Pretty much my laptop, IM, rock'n'roll, Luckies, water and swimming.
