I have noticed that for a long time now I have been spending my days not doing anything nor thinking about anything. I have been unemployed for a few years and the only thoughts that go around my head are 'will I ever get a job' or 'OMG, what am I going to do? What will happen to me"? I just feel numb. I was just wondering if anyone else has been feeling like this?

I'm on disability and I spend most of my time like this. It's still more comfortable to me than going anywhere.
Thanks for this!

I'm also on disability support and have been out of work for two years but I am looking to come off benefits and get a job even though im not technically fit for work because i am just so bored of life. I spend my days not knowing what to do with myself for the best, nothing really interests me or holds my attention for long. I just feel empty.

I used to enjoy reading but I can't even concentrate to read properly at the moment. So I have been watching TV and find that it is hard going to even follow a plot. If only I could concentrate on something life would not be so bad.

I moved to a new town & quit my job of twelve years last May. I'm on unemployment. I do run an online book business with my husband (who lives in a different house). Aside from that business my time is my own. Most of the time I am fine with how things are. Sometimes I feel isolated and sometimes I feel lonely, but for the most part it feels amazing to have my own time for the very first time in my life.
