I need help. Here's the thing; every single night I talked with my bf at about the same time. A decision was made recently that is pretty much cutting out my time talking with him at that time. I get really really lonley at night, at the time we used to talk. It is so painful so just sit around and do nothing, it is agony. I need advice on what to do to get my mind off of him, to keep me distracted. Please help.
are you in a long distance relationship? and exactly who made this decision? as for keeping busy, may i suggest a little retail therapy? seriously though, lynnie had a great post in another thread about what to do when bummed out...let me see if i can find it for you...
Sometimes I find baking very soothing, because you need to follow the recipe pretty closely and pay attention. So, for the hour or so you are baking, you are completely focused. And, then you have something nice and yummy to share with people the next day.
I also like yoga. It's really soothing and you completely focus on other things for the length of the class. It also helps you sleep better - which will always help make you feel better.
Esquiress- Ugh this is so hard to talk about. Yes, it is a long distance relationship. And he made the decision. It is to be friends. He thinks it will be better for both of us because since he moved it has been too hard to see each other. So cutting back on talking and being friends instead is the decision.
Kittenheels- how did you know about me not sleeping? Yoga is a good idea too...
Oh, and I am a huge supporter of retail therapy. It has to be online though, because my lonley time is late into the night.
I'm going to have to go with reading too. It's relaxing, it definitely will get your mind off things, & what I like best is that eventually I get sleepy and fall straight to sleep. It cuts out that period of time when you lay down vs. when you actually fall asleep.
Oooh, or try knitting. I just got a beginner's knitting kit for Xmas. So far I have what appears to look like 1/2 of a square pot holder (and its not too pretty). My family is worried I'll knit their XMas presents...
