Resetting a Rut

I feel stuck. I am single, spend a lot of time alone, and struggling to find the right anti-depressant. As you might guess, spending a lot of time alone is not good for my mental health. Something needs to change.

It’s time for a RESET!

The Issue

I need to interact with more people. I go to a lot of the same places, and when I spend time with people, it is the same people as always. Nothing against these people, but I need something different. Novelty is very attractive to the ADHD mind. I will get bored if something doesn’t change. Well, actually, I am bored now. I need something different. If I don’t switch things up, nothing will change. Therefore, something must change.

My Why

I want to be happy, and I do not want to be alone or bored.

Who I Want to Be

I want to be someone who takes care of themselves. I want to be a practitioner of self-care. If I cannot model how to take care of oneself, it will be hard for me to help others to do the same.

Strengths-Based Strategies

I need new things. I am good at several things, and I need to find ways of using my strengths. One of things I am fairly decent at doing is playing board games. There is a board game store in town that holds events where people can show up and play board games. I should look into those events. If I do not meet anyone, at least I can play a game and maybe even discover a new game. Moreover, I could create a fun little challenge for myself where I try to go to every coffee shop and/or restaurant in town. I do not mind going to those places alone, and I could bring a book along for company. Putting myself in new situations might allow me to encounter new people. New experiences is the key. I need to research more things to do. There has to be more stuff in Sioux Falls that interest me, and darn it, I am going to find out what they are.
