Those free days

I struggle on days when I have no plans, no commitments. All it takes is one dentist appointment or a therapy call to give my day structure. When the whole day is all down to me, I find it hard to land on anything to do.

I think about reaching out, to friends or my parents, for some company. Or maybe I should have a day for myself, doing my hobbies, resting, chores. The decision of action or inaction, company or solitude is such a stressful thing for me.

Every possible thing I think, almost immediately slips away. I have an idea of what to do and then my confidence in that idea is lost. Days like this feel like they’re just wasting away and then all the doubt and fear creeps in.

I wonder if anyone can relate to this feeling or would have any ideas of feeling more comfortable and self assured on days like this?

  • Well I suggest making your own commitments for those days. I am religious so for me my structure is at this time I get up, at this time I pray this prayer, then I go to mass at this time, then eat at this time, etc. 

    It works for me, mostly. But yes those days without an anchor are difficult, you feel adrift.
