Phillipa, I'm just thinking out loud. Sometimes I feel bored when feeling avoidance of...? Avoiding feeling and sensation take up a fair amount of my time, not really allowing me to relax and feel more deeply into any activity. When I am also not allowed to do what I want to do--a creative endeavour which is just about 24/7 these days--I waste time in unsatisfying ways that don't really touch me.
Looking at what I've just written, boredom to me is agitated listlessness.
You know, we both have a fairly high daily pain level right now; there's no way to compare our levels, however, could that be a factor.
Sometimes I am absolutely bored beyond hopelessness because I am busy with have-to-do's. All those countless stupid things over and over.
Then, when I was fairly young, old enough to have a certain memory of awe
for the sky (it doesn't look the same to me) and young enough that even though growing up near JFK, a plane passing overhead was something to stop and look at.I would try to stop blinking, or
swallowing, or breathing. That I couldn't stop these repetitive and intrusive activities frustrated me quite a bit.Well, that certainly is stream of thought.
