Hi Guys,
Have you ever had that feeling where you have come back from somewhere i.E. Social activity, seeing a friend thinking what now then? I find this on a regular basis and feel as I need to be occupied with something to take my mind off it. What is your coping strategy?

This is why I work part time in a office at a airport and have taken up art as a hobby too. My suggestion is to find a hobby or learn a new skill.
What about joining a fitness centre or gym as well? Or you could apply for jobs, look at volunteering opportunities, or embark on a course at a local college. Make a short list of life goals too. Find out more about volunteering positions etc.
Read this article on ways to keep occupied.

Have you seen our post on Have a Go month yet? It has some more useful suggestions https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/63503/have-a-go-month-what-would-you-choose#latest.
There are lots of art classes available- have a look online or call/email for more information.
Best wishes! You could also take up a sport like horseback riding or fishing if you are bored at home and need a break! What about a learning vacation? They are a new type of break designed with education in mind. Have you ever tried fly fishing (not to be confused with fly tipping) or cooking? For more information on learning vacations, please see this article on the topic at https://www.momondo.com/discover/article/the-best-learning-vacations
