Boredom and depression 5&6

in Hive Learners3 days ago

There is nothing better than having a place where you can enjoy yourself and not be bored at any moment in life. This makes me remember when I was in my service, around last year, everything was so fun because I have lots of reasonable friends around me. I will say that having friends sometimes can be so fun. I have written some posts for my friends before; it was a beautiful moment throughout my year of service, well, apart from the fact that we do have activities we do as a corp member and also in the CDs. I also go out with my friends.

Although I'm this kind of person that loves to disturb too, my friends are so fun to be with. Even though I've had things to think about back then, I will end up not thinking about anything. Times without numbers, we have been to different places to enjoy ourselves, in fact talking about the CDs alone. It's all fun.
I did not know anything about depression or being bored throughout last year. One thing that we need to know is that being bored can lead to a whole lot of things. Depression is one of the things that can happen to anyone who is bored.

After my year of service, I traveled back home, thinking of what to do. I stayed at home for four months, and that is when I knew what boredom was all about; I did not even step out anywhere; I'm always in the door 24/7. The boredom increases so much I can't handle it; I almost start doing what I am not supposed to be doing. Boredom will make you talk to a total stranger; from January this year till April ending was so terrible. At some point I was about to enter depression, and that was when I carried all my load and left home to another state without having anything in mind. But I had to leave because of the fact that I'm so bored.

Boredom has made me talk to myself for a whole day; now it's looking like I'm getting crazy 🤣, lol. I know it's funny, but the fact is that I'm telling the truth. Funny enough, I got back to where I used to be, and for like another two months I was not doing anything productive. The boredom increases, then I have to start talking to people I won't talk to on a daily basis. I realized the negative impact and I had to stop talking to them again.

One thing that helps my boredom was that I started doing what I used to do back—I started doing taekwondo and physically fitness training. In fact, there was a time I went to a gym and told the owner that I wanted to work and I did not need his money. I said that because, firstly, I know he can't pay my money, and boredom is killing me to the extent that I couldn't handle it. So I had to look for alternatives.

In summary, the only thing I do to kill boredom is physical fitness and taekwondo, and I engage students too. Before I reached a lot of people, I would have already gotten tired and wouldn't have any energy to be bored or depressed.

What did you almost start to be doing Money? 😂

I've had a few moments like that and also seen people talk to themselves like they are crazy... It's real 😅

Thank goodness you had physical fitness training and taekwondo to get rid of boredom.

It is really hard not having something doing especially with the degrading situation of our country.
I think it is brave of you to speak up about a topic so sensitive as well, depression is real and I hope you never ever fall into it. Sending you love and light big brother!
