Real bored !! I don’t cherish boredom makes me think of wrong things !! Who a can help ??
Hey Frances. Are you new here? What do you typically like to do to take your mind off things? New hobbies, returning to old interests, is something I look forward to.
It’s also not really option to “not think”. The mind will stay stuck on old thought patterns until you learn how to organize and move past them. Avoidance and distraction are helpful and necessary delay tactics sometimes to keep us away from picking up…. but it sounds like ultimately you should probably actually create some safe spaces to meditate on what your thoughts are, whether journaling, sharing with a friend or therapist, or support group, going for a walk to think out loud, etc
