I am no longer giving advice on Advicenators, and have requested that my account be deleted.

I am now giving advice on Askville as ->Peter

If you're looking for good advice here, I suggest you ask YoungGrandma. She's the best.

I don't expect to be checking in on this site again, so if you want to ask me something, see you on Askville!

Good luck!

i have severe agoraphobia so i cant get out. im getting help so i dont need advice about that, i really needs ideas though on what i can do while im stuck in the house all day everyday. ive been like this for 4 years so i get very depressed especially when im bored. i get bored of tv, computer, videos/dvds. if anyone can think of things to keep me ocupied and happy that would be fantastic thank you x (link)
The best way that I've found to entertain myself under that sort of circumstance is to tap into your creativity. Games and TV and videos are all okay, but they're basically stagnant - that is, you watch them or play them or whatever, and when you're done with that all you've done is kill some time.

If you do something creative, on the other hand, you'll know you really got something done. It's great for giving you something to think about, something that you'll enjoy.

The thing is, you need to figure out where your creative interests lie. That may take some thought, and you may need to try a lot of different things. Painting. Drawing (on the computer or on paper). Sculpting. Crafts. Writing, fiction or non-fiction. Heck, even giving advice can be creative! :D

Personally, I've found that I get the most fun out of writing fiction. That may not work for you, but there has to be SOME sort of creative area that you enjoy, and quite possibly *several* areas. So experiment, and see what happens!

Oh, and don't set your expectations too high at first. Whatever you do doesn't have to be *perfect* - it just has to be fun. Don't assume that you're writing, or painting, or whatever it is you do with the goal of selling your stuff. Start by creating things for an audience of one: you. That way, you'll be able to really let yourself go and find out what works best for you.

Good luck!
