Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

If I may... seems to me like you are lonely, and bored to death. try opening a good book. it helps carry your mind away,and makes time fly.

Answer 5

I pray. Even if I'm not sure whether there's a God to hear me or not, I pray, because hearing my own voice appealing to something Else, something that isn't me, is comforting to me.

Stay busy helping your mom, get to know the neighbors by volunteering to do something around the neighborhood like walk dogs for people. Dogs, even those of others, are great at helping us be happier. Smile and laugh at anything you possibly can. Avoid negative input, like violent and depressing movies, games, etc. Do some gardening, even if it's indoor gardening in little pots. Find some creative things you can do like cooking or crafts. I bet your mom would love to have a young chef in the house.

Call friends and family as often as possible, and tell jokes, ask about their days, talk about school, pets, news, etc.

Chin up young one, you're on the right track just by realizing you are bored and sad. Make some lists of people, places, and things to focus on ... and seriously, take up cooking.

You're never alone ... God is all around and you can always have a chat with Him. He doesn't care if you are just talking like yourself, so you don't have to get down on your knees and pray in the traditional way.

A church youth group might be a good place for you to connect, and someone might even offer some car-pooling for you. SMILE. LAUGH. YOU ARE LOVED.

Answer 7

It might sound silly, but if you really and truly just literally force yourself to smile and keep smiling for at least a minute, you will probably feel a bit better. Even though it may be a fake smile, it will still release some of the natural feel good chemicals in your body that are released when you smile for real.

Answer 9

Find a class near where you live, someplace you can get to by yourself (walk, bus, bike or whatever). It doesn't matter what it is, yoga, dance, knitting, etc., as long as it interests you. Ask to sit in on a couple of classes and see if it's something you'd like to try before signing up. That will give you something to look forward to every week.

Another idea would be to take a walk around your neighborhood or apartment complex. Get out of your house for a while, and you'll be doing something healthy and constructive while you're at it. Take an iPod or CD player with you, loaded with all of your favorite songs. That will make the walk more pleasant and help it go faster.

Good luck!

Answer 10

I like listening to music to help me feel better.

Old school rock.
