Trying To Keep Busy

[Mim28]

I'm trying to keep busy today. I'm tired of thinking about me and trying to get some things accomplished so I can feel better about myself. I feel like I'm in a hamster wheel doing the same things. But I have to do something so I don't cry.
What do you do?

I watch a lot of TV (probably not all that therapeutic). I just started Sons of Anarchy.

Mim what do you find ok to do right now?

Right now I am organizing papers and notes. My mind likes organization and it's hard to think about myself. Plus things have really gotten very disorganized as my mind is not the same. So back to cleaning up the mess.

Have you thought about taking an art class of some kind?

I read or sew. It has taken me a long time (years) to find something I can do to really take me away from it. Took a lot of trying new things out until I hit on things that felt comfortable and that I can now go to knowing I will get the desired affect. was a case of just try something if it works great if it doesnt move onto the next thing.

I pulled out my drawing supplies. I'm not very good but have some instructional books, so learning helps divert my attention

If i need to keep busy so my mind doesnt start racing i go for a walk, catch up with friends, do some colouring in, tidy out the kitchen cupboards or the cellar (the cellar is a big job) .
I always feel a sense of achievement if ive completed one of the jobs that can be easily put off ie cleaning the oven, clearing the loft or the cellar.

That's my favourite tv series right now! I love it, thank heaven for Netflix
