I was wondering if there was anyone out there who kinda gets into the same kinda slump that I do? I'm the type of person who starts something and then for no reason at all gets bored. I can't find anything that can keep me occupied. Like jobs, I haven't had one job for an entire year. I get bored with it. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do that could possibly keep me occupied? Please anyone help me. Give me any input you have to give. I have an open mind.

This happens to my husband all the time. He gets bored constantly and needs to be doing stuff always. He loses interests on things very quickly as well. He tries to immense himself into stuff he enjoys and try as many news things as he can. If he likes it then he continues to do that activity. Often though his bored days end him up in front of the tv :( It's pretty frustrating for him and as for me being his wife I feel bad because I run out of things to suggest. My best advice is find some hobbies that you enjoy and just keep looking for new things. Even if it only entertains you for a few hours at least thats a few hours out of your day that you enjoyed.

Thank you for your input. I still dont know just what to do yet. Im gonna try to find something. I hope it will be able to keep my attention. I hope you find a way to keep your husband occupied as well. I thought about trying to take a scrap booking class, or I thought about trying to learn a new language. My husband speaks spanish, so I might try it.

When I'm bored, I call up some friends and we'll think of something to do. Honestly, there's a whole list of things to do when I'm bored, I'm just too lazy to do it. There's so much to do: work out, eat, dance, basketball, swim, billiards, tv, facebook, party, study, play an instrument, go clubbing, etc. Just make a list of stuff you like to do and commit yourself to it. By "commit yourself" I mean make sure you aren't too lazy to go by yourself. If you are, you're always free to holla at your homies.

I really dont have to many friends. My life is consumed by my husband and 3 children. Plus I have one of those husbands who dont really like me to go anywhere. I dont know why he is like this. So I usually just go and hang out with my mom or sisters. I sometimes go and hang out with my aunt. Thank you for your idea. Like I said I will try to do anything atleast once. Well depending on what it is.

Hi there jennifer100! I often get that feeling... You know, get bored and simply do not know what to do. I would get a book and scan through the pages but do not really read it. Or, I would stare into space. That's how bored I get at times. Well, to keep me from getting that bored especially at work, I try to start a good conversation with my colleagues. Sometimes it works especially when the people I talk to are sensible.

I dont have a job right now. I dont do well in some conversations, but thank you for your input. I dont know what to do just yet. Im still trying to find some good ideas. My sister was talking about taking a scrap booking class. I thought that was interesting, so I might try that. Thank you again.

Do you have a hobby? Or extra curricular activities? (like sports, time with friends, collecting items or reading books and so on and so forth) Have you thought about helping people? Like charity program? Or are you one of those people who only thinks of themselves? There's a lot of things to do if you put your heart in to it. Think of things that you like best and then DO IT!!! It's one thing to like it and another to actually DO it. Good luck.

No I am not one of those people who always think of themselves. I wouldnt be able to do charity work, because it would make me mad if I came across some of those people who are very ungreatful for you helping them. I think about other people to much thats why when it comes to myself, its like Im lost or something. I cant think of anything that I like to do best. I clean my entire house and then the next day I have nothing to do. Sometimes I just sleep cause Im so bored. I have 3 kids to take care of, I feel there is no time for me to find a hobbie. Sometimes they keep me occupied, most of the time they just aggravate me. Well thanks for the comment.
