boredom feeling

[teegra]

hi guys I'm new to this so bear with me. Does anyone ever have a feeling of boredom or emptiness??? Thanks

[teegra]

I constantly feel empty inside like I'm missing something, very anxious aswell, somebody please tell me you feel the same as I can't cope much more with it, I feel so alone.

teegra,

Know the feeling all too well! Some nights I find I can't even settle down to watch the TV and just try dozing.

That said, the CBT folks will tell you that feelings follow behaviour. So when you're ok and on a level keel try scribbling down a list of short things that need doing or you'd like to do even if it's just reading a single article in a magazine (Country Living does it for me I dream of keeping chickens :-). Then when things are bit empty get out the list and doing one even if you don't feel like it. Then give yourself a big tick and a very large pot of tea!
