I know being bored, going stir crazy,I bought a tablet and get kindle unlimited, love reading since my dibillitating ilness', Yes I would much rather be cleaning house, doing laundry or taking a walk, my life isnt about this anymore so I find what I can to keep my mind occupied and busy so im not depressing myself over sitting or laying in one place feeling the pain 24/7...

Fighting the boredom is a constant battle and finding ways to distract yourself from the pain can be next to impossible. I find it hard to focus or engage in activities that I once loved. Not sure there really is an answer except to keep trying and just do your best on any given day

I'm recording all the TV shows so I can fast forward through the commercials! Also I joined a book club and don't always make all the meetings but the interaction of the people helps me stay involved with others. I also have friends come over while I lay on the couch. I text a lot and find it easier than expending energy I don't have. I try to do 1 or 2 things a day and try not to get upset at myself for not doing more!

I read books like crazy and work with my dogs. I can sit while having them fetch tennis balls when my husband throws them. Occasionally I can walk with my husband into the garden and get tomatoes. In my wheelchair I still helped put up 10 quarts of tomatoes and tomarrow we will make tomatoe soup to store. I draw on a very limited time frame or color with pencils some of the neat new adult coloring books. I have began to work with clay making miniture animals and flowers. And most of all I love being on my laptop and laying propped up next to my service animals even if it is for small bursts at a time.

I understand stir crazy!! I keep trying new things and get bored. I force myself to take short walks except when it's over 110!! I'm into painting now and boy am I bad. I've watched everything on Netflix too. I take free online courses with Coursera.Learn about food, brain, pain, etc.
