Boredom

[Angid1122]

Sooo... I've currently been on short term disability for like 2 weeks now because of a bad flare up and I'm about to lose my mind. I should be doing a little around the house and enjoying the upcoming holidays, but need to rest. Help?!! I can only watch so much HGTV and Hallmark lol! I think my dog even wants me to go back to work lol!

Hope you get feeling better soon 🙏. It’s ok to be fatigued and tired of what’s going on 👍. Just try to stay positive and it will change 🙏🙏. Ken 🐾🎄⛄️🎅🤶🏼😜🤣😂😊

I’ll be praying you get to the other side of this flare rapidly.

I can relate, I was not ready to "retire" when I did. Unfortunately, the mind does not slow down or "retire". Natgeo Wild, Animal Planet & Smithsonian channels have some good programing. Be good to yourself

[Angid1122 in reply to MS_Indestructible]

Thanks! That's very true. The mind sure is the only thing that keeps going and going. I love animals so I will have to tune in to Animal Planet more. Hope ur still able to enjoy ur retirement! Blessings!

I was not ready for it,. I am however, able to make it for now and try to live the best life possible . . . with ms

At this time of year a flare up is worse, because of the season. You can’t get out like you would like and we all think we have to do certain things, but the important part of all , is that you do listen to your body, and don’t get stressed. There are some great mind game apps that keep the mind focused . Sometimes I think that if I believed in reincarnation I would come back as a dog, as they have no trouble in sleeping all day, blessings Jimeka 🎄

Lol very true! I was just talking about how dogs have it easy. I kinda feel like one right now with just laying around and sleeping all day. Only difference is, I have to feed myself and clean up after myself lol! Have a good day! Blessings!

Color therapy. It so helps. Whether its real or on ur ipad or whatever u can get lost in it for hours

[Angid1122 in reply to Midgey_Midge06]

Very true! I may have to try that. I was thinking about starting up painting again the other day. Thanks for the idea! Blessings!

A couple options that worked for me (depending on my mental energy level) are online open (aka free) courses for example ocw.mit.edu/index.htm or plain old audiobooks because they are substantial but don't use as much brain power as if I had to read it.

Thanks for ther suggestions! Blessings!
