Insight is also pretty good. I prefer that to QandA on ABC. More of a personal taste whereas QandA chorales to people and politicians lol.

I recently watched The Orville on SBS On Demand. Good show. About to watch Brooklyn nine nine season 5 too.

I am feeling something similar to what you have explained - its kinda a weird feeling- a bit spacey. I don't know what to do though I am trying to just ignore it. I have tried to manage my stress with strategies you have mentioned. My depression has only been in recent years its not longstanding. I am feeling quite lost and unsure of things too. I think you're right, because I do think that is happening for me. @outlander

I don't mind insight they have had some good stories of late- discussing current issues. I have not much watched Q and A for a while. I have been watching tiny houses and beachfront bargin hunt i think its on nine life. what are your plans this week?

@MDT

I understand @oceangirl  its kinda hard to explain really. Sometimes  giving myself a job to do each day helps. Thats where free short courses  come in handy for me as it gives me a focal point and something  to work on. Other times its really about riding  it out  and just managing it hr by hr until it lifts  abit. 

Do you think giving yourself a job to do would help? For me it has to be something  that breaks up the repition of my life (even if its busy) or something  new to try  out (i find trying  new forms of art or craft or new art project like scrapbooking can be helpful)

This week I will go back to what I was doing which is job searching. It gets depressing so much like you and @outlander I will need to look for things to break up the repetitiveness of it all.

[outlander]

Yeah  i think the repetitiveness and mandaneness of life can put us in abit of a spiral too @MDT  hopefully  you  can find things that break up the days  abit too

Lisnteing to lectures and debates is somethinf I enjoy - especially now with one of the projects I'm. Working on so it can help. I also like comedy shows. They are old but clever @outlander

Even then I need to break up the day so gym keeps me going out. Other times I go to the city for lunch and break up the day. I do feel guilty doing that at times though because I feel like i should be doing more with my time 😕

Goodnight @outlander @oceangirl
Talk to yous later 🙂

[outlander]

I love comedys too @MDT  i like to watch michael mcintyre. 'The dentist' is one of my fave clips and would reccomend watching it. 

Goodnight, hope your taxi'ing goes alright tomorrow

I think its a mixture of feeling quite not right and a bit lost atm. I think I am making progress even though I couldn't see it until I started to think about it now. I have always liked to write down a plan for each day. I try not to put too much pressure on myself and just to do what I can each day. Some days I get 10% done and others days I do much more. The key is taking action. I am starting to feel a bit more comfortable opening up and sharing what I am feeling, I have never rily been able to do that before. i think that is a step in the right direction.... @outlander
