Banishing the emptiness

The stage I am at is the constant battle to deal with the 'hole' left in my life. The lack of drama has left a sense of emptiness. I realise thats because whilst the drama took up all my time I didnt have to deal with 'my shit' 'my feeling of lack of purpose in life'.

To combat this..

I have joined a running club beginners course (I had prev gone to one but was ill then had other engagements so missed a couple of weeks and it was too hard to pick up). The new course starts end of July.

I have enrolled on a beginners counselling course, just for me to learn something new.

I am looking into volunteering for homestart (working with new families/families having difficulties with coping with young/ill children)

And I have bought a diary, laughing, to try and organise my life. Its still not easy getting out of bed so I try and 'plan my day' the night before. Plan everything from drinking water, painting nails to putting a was on..ticking off and not having to think though is working for me.

So thats me..just wondered what everyone else 'at this stage' is doing for coping strategies? x
