Agree!!! Fortunately boredom is not a word I ever get to use. There are times I dream of doing nothing. Very rare occasions I grab a few minutes to not do a single thing. Thanks for sharing.

I definitely agree with this. Staying busy with recovery and other positive things leaving no time for my brain to play games or over think. I havenât really thought about it but I donât think Iâve been bored In a really long time. Definitely feels good

Part of my boredom was quite possibly an effect of long term alcohol consumption. My brain could not make connections quickly, and I responded only to large stimuli. As my brain recovered, I started to become aware of my surroundings, then aware of smaller and smaller changes. I recovered the ability to synthesize smaller stimuli into larger responses - I could piece together details and fill in the gaps to imagine what the whole looked like.
As time went on, my boredom decreased. Today, I am frequently astonished at how quickly the end of the day arrives!

Took me a while to realize my boredom was years of being used to constant chaos. Either internally or externally. My mind and body werenât used to just feeling ok and at rest.
We can be bothered weâre bored, or see it as a good thing: Things are actually quiet for a change.
Then hell yeah, what do I wanna do with that time? The worldâs my oyster.

Itâs nobodyâs job to fix you.
There is no person that can magically fix your mental health or give you what you are âmissingâ.
Stop using people as your DOC.
Itâs codependency, not healing.
