How to pass the time

How do you pass the time when you can't function??

And when you don;t know anyone where you live?

Aside from hanging out here

How about reading or journaling. Playing games like crossword puzzles, or word finds. You could also go for a nice evening walk.
I did that tonight with hubby and it was great.

you gotta find your own distractions, I think... anything that will distract you from the current situation... be it radio, tv, movies, crafting, volunteering at no-brain jobs etc... good wishes on this!

A therapist years ago asked me to try something. She said when I find it hard to do something or feel like the worse person on earth or just in general don't feel like doing anything to think about someone I admire and then imagine or pretend I am that person having to deal with what is going at the moment. I totally laughed at her then on the sly tried it and it worked. I had recently met a fellow survivor that was going through the court system and I was just struck by how strong and self confident this person seemed. So I pulled myself up straightened my shoulders and tried to walk tall like this person and I got to work on the problem. In no time at all the problem was solved and I felt much better. Even tody when I find myself slipping into the "I can't do this" mode I think of my dear friend and pull myself up and find something to do - cleaning, reading, walking, biking, window shop at the area stores, hit the local library, call a friend, take a bath, listen to music (I have even sang the songs and danced even though I am parcially deaf, and can't dance a step with one leg an inch or so shorter than the other) my list is endless and grows longer by the day.

Thank you. I will take your advice....
