How do you all fill your days those who do not work, i'm signed off at the moment and i'm finding it lonely and boring as i have not much motivation to do anything creative, which is what i normally do. Most friends and family are working or live far away so i end up watching tv and on the internet which i know is a waste of time and not productive at all. So tricky to get out and try new things feeling how i do though...
Just wondering if anyone else's days are tricky to fill?
Hi
I am used to been at home which could make the difference as when you are used to working its a different routine & which ever one you do you get used to it
I find I dont have enough hours in the days sometimes
I do have a family so they can take some time up , I clean , iron , cook , bake I can always find something to do !
Maybe look round & see while you have been working & now at home the things that maybe you wanted to do but never had the time for
It can be hard to motivate yourself , I suppose for me been a Mum I have looked at it as my job , so I have found it easier than I expect when you are used to working
Do you have any hobbies you have never had time to do , sewing , baking ?
Oh sorry this will have been no help
Hope someone will have some better ideas when they read this 
Love

Hi silver snow
I felt the same when I was first signed off. I find it helps to have a list of things to do, I then work through them each day. I don't always getvthem all done, but at least it stops me sitting and watching jeremy kyle all day!

it makes sense what you said whywhy as i'm not used to being at home i'm used to working and don't have a family so don't have the extra jobs to do. i think i'm so used to not having lots of time on my hands now i do i'm not sure what to do with it especially not really feeling like myself. I do have bits and pieces to do round the house but find they only take up so much of my time. I'm just hoping I will start to feel a little more 'normal' soon and can do the things i usually enjoy. urgh just so frustrating i just want to get back to my life! but thank you both for your comments, coming on here and messaging at least takes up some of my time lol
Well may be see this as a extra holiday of work & relax
I do appreciate how this must feel as I have a friend & she always says she is happier at work than home , mind you she has a family as well , maybe thats why 
Its what you get used to , but try not to look at it to far ahead , just think I am having time of for now but I will be back & you will

I have a family to look after, but I write a list of things to do. Maybe take advantage of being off and go for a walk might make you feel better. I do dog walking and feel better for it... I do sit and watch "This Morning" always cheers me up:)) x
hi i dont work and live on my own with my dog,i like to read,i always have 2 books on the go one self help and one novel.
I watch tv, (40 channels to choose from since we went digital), surf the internet on my laptop, & excercise.
Anxiety attacks the time after.

I'm at my most desperate, lowest point here.
