Currently I am on the computer all day surfing of playing this game Bubble Shooter - Click here to play for free as a kind of stim.
I think I have a bit of ADHD as well, so can't cope with boredom.
I couldn't sit all day with a fidget spinner, what I need is something that will satisfy my need for swimming and also help keep me occupied and off the screen/phone.
Can anyone suggest such an object?
I don't mind treating myself to something.
I am good at art, however I have circumstantial stresses that have plunged me into depression. A few years ago I bought art stuff but never used it, it's a great suggestion though.
Hi I like the idea of dogs but I am not allowed to in my accommodation.
I like the idea of puzzle books, might order some.
Colouring pictures would make me cry (I'm a bit odd that way, but thanks for the idea)
Thanks for the other ideas, depression has made me inactive, I sit on my sofa which doubles as a bed.
My Grandfather gave me a mouth organ an heirloom I lost the box, that makes me sad.
Will if a dog is out of the question, about how about a lizard, bird, snake, hamster, rat (s). Cats are fun to play with.
Hobbies:
Write a story, organize a gaming get together with other gamers. Leave your place and get exercise if possible. Learn a new subject just for fun. i started studing bartender and now l am actually working as one by my bosses kindness of helping. Very grateful to make a new career choice at a death's door. lol
Think about what you liked as a child. I realized I have stopped playing but adults need to play too.
for example I really liked playing with tiny animals making them fly around or walk on furniture. For that i have found imagining them could work sometimes when i get feelings of loneliness in between messages people send, without having to change place.
Season decorations are a great thing to do so you always have something new and exciting. Then I take pics and edit them to make colors different and they look even more gorgeous. Im really good with colors.
Ignore my fork and plate, lol. Or don't. Their green is kinda nice.
Instead of building with lego, because I don't have lego, I can draw lego buildings.
I now have my plants as pretty big responsibilities, but I think I need them to learn to be consistent despite how poorly emotionally im feeling and they are hard work so i get some real satisfaction for my hard work instead what the internet teaches me, that satisfaction should be instant.
My idea: join a group of swimmers and share your ideas, talk about it to people who understand. with covid you're not alone in this limitation.
I have given up acting a play due to shame, I was told im really good at acting. My social issues didn't let me do it despite me liking it. So i had thought of writing a play, acting one, reciting something, eulogy helped me process my feelings of breakup while valuing the person.
Listen to Halloween stories. Tis the season. Feel alive in the current times, I belong to them.
I have never thought of flossing as a fun activity but I can combine utility with pleasure, and self care is important for the confidence.

I love cats, but now the owners of the building are more accommodating, the windows I have are not safe, I am high up and cats could get out.
I couldn't keep an animal in a cage.
Gamers is a good idea, but its screen time.
I'm housebound, sorry to be so negative.
Thanks for your post, thanks for your thought.

If you decide you like that, there's a whole wild world of those things out there.
Examples from my collection:
When I went through a nasty series of anxiety attacks, well, the solution I needed turned out to be something very similar to what you're looking for. I needed something that would keep my mind engaged, and having a tactile element... to go along with sensory needs and act as a bit of a stim... was also necessary.
This was one of the hobbies I ended up choosing. It worked out nicely.
And there's tons of resources available to help you learn. It's been an interesting ride for me... I used to think that even the normal 3x3 Rubik's Cube was utterly impossible. Now I think it's too easy. There's a definite progression of skill and knowledge with these things and each individual new puzzle can keep you occupied for quite awhile as you try to work out what in the heck to do.
Difficulty can be deceptive though. That tangled disaster in the 4th photo isnt all that hard. But the two cubes in the 3rd pic, which dont have nearly as many pieces, are hideously difficult.
As this is one of my major interests, if you ever want to know more or want some suggestions for other things to try, feel free to ask.
Good luck. Initial learning curve is pretty tough, but it smooths out alot once you get past the initial hurdle.
