Must. not. be. bored.
Must. do. things. I've been repeating that to myself in my head for a while now. I'm nervous but unmotivated at the same time. Nothing like a little psychomotor agitation to throw a kink in my Saturday relaxation. I'm bored, but I can't be. Boredom works in strange ways, and for me, they are mostly negative. I keep my mind occupied because boredom is evil and should be viewed as such. My love-hate relationship with school is clearly defined by this. School provides stimulation and something to do for several hours. I need to pay attention, take notes, read about the lesson, read a book, etc. and although it adds a huge amount of stress onto me it's still better than the alternative (hours without stimulation, day after day.) Summer vacation is hell for me for that very reason; enjoyable, yet not due to thoughts that go sour. My thoughts tend to do that (become extremely negative when nothing is occupying my brain.) Oh... Must. not. be. bored. Must. do. things.

That's a dilemma. Stimulation brings stress, and lack of stimulation results in a dangerous negativity. Have you found any form of stress-free stimulation?

Same, on one hand, it can get very depressing when there's nothing to occupy the mind with... on the other, it becomes stressful when there is work/school. I can understand the lack of motivation as well.

Most of my stress-free stimulation counts more as distraction.
