Feeling bored
Everyday I get up. I'm doing the same old thing. Being stuck at home 24/7 with no license to drive. I go to Haverhill Clubhouse sporadically meaning not going as much. I feel so bored and don't know what to do. I'm 32 years old and live in Methuen, Massachusetts. Don't have a job or even my own place. I'm sick of this same routine over and over again. I write in my journal about how I feel on paper. There's nothing for me to do. I feel so alone and frustrated.

It's the fact that I'm bored everyday
My heart goes out for you heroic.... don't sit around the house an suffer. There must be someone you know that can take you to a doctor to get meds for your depression. I guaranty you will feel a while lot better. Keep your head up.

I'm on meds. It's just the fact that I don't drive and can't go anywhere when I want
When I get really bored, it's like I might as well be sitting in an empty room. Nothing around me holds any interest, and even my own thoughts bore me. When nobody else is there to drag me out of it, I sometimes find myself staring off into space for hours on end, just waiting for SOMETHING to happen that actually makes me want to do anything. I also don't have a license, so if I'm at my house, there's always that option to get Lyft or Uber or some taxi service, but who feels like calling those people? Strangers, who you'd then be trusting your life to while they drive you to somewhere for something that may or may not even break the fugue.
People tell me, just do something. Why don't you just talk to someone. Your house is full of stuff, why not just make something. You love making stuff!... If only it was that easy, right? That's one of the most frustrating things that someone can say if you're feeling that way.
"If you're bored, just do something"
Does any of that sound like you Heroic? If it does, I get it, and I hope something changes for you, because it really does suck, being surrounded by stuff to do and being so bored that your brain has just melted out onto the carpet.
