Have you ever had one of those times when you feel especially bored and torn up in your mind that no matter what you do, you can't change the status quo?
I am a college student who has just started an internship and is in the transition period between campus and the workplace.
Nowadays, the daily routine is to go to work and work at a more regular pace.
After returning to the dormitory from work, there are almost no other activities except resting, and sometimes I feel especially bored, and I don't want to do anything in my room, and I can't even stay there.
This state of affairs leaves me feeling helpless and occasionally a little anxious about how to break the cycle.
The more bored you are, the more likely you are to ruminate, and the more you think about it, the more empty you feel.
It's really kind of maddening and I don't know how to adjust myself.
This issue has been a particular struggle for me, and I have been unable to find an effective solution.
I've looked up a number of methods on the internet, but they didn't stick after a few attempts.
I wondered if there was something wrong with my mindset.
Hello owner ~ I'm Whale Social Worker Koboku, and I'd like to start by giving you a warm hug! I understand very well how you feel right now. From your description, I can see that you are in the internship stage, and you may feel a bit monotonous in your free time.
In fact, we can take the initiative to arrange some learning or interest activities in our spare time. Think back to your school days, what did we usually do on the days we didn't have classes? You can continue those things that make you feel happy now.
It's also important to develop a hobby or two because there are always off days after work. I wonder if there's something you always wanted to try when you were a kid or in middle school but didn't get the chance to do? Now is a good time to use your free time to improve yourself.
All the best to you ~ (whale social worker 🐳)
