Distraction ideas when you're isolated.
 
I'm very isolated at the moment.
I only have two or three friends that live nearby and I have little to no company during the day since I've been on maternity leave.

I am going absolutely insane and feel so depressed. Everyday seems to blend into one and I can't escape my thoughts.

Do you guys have any distraction ideas/things I can do alone?
I'd really appreciate it.

Also making a scrapbook for photos when the baby is born?

love you xx

Hey, As Christmas is coming up could you make gifts or cards or do something crafty?

I made all my gifts one year, I found a lot of them were quite simple..for example sugar bath scrubs (sugar and some form of essence) in a nice jar with a pretty (handmade) label?

I don't know if you enjoy baking but usually there are lots of delicious recipies floating around this time of year.

My boyfriend was playing a game called Cities Skylines that looked interesting and he said calmed him down. I had a go and it was great, you build your own city and sort things like electricity and water, schools, police, transport, taxi, zoning etc. A bit like sim city. And I ended up playing for hours, it was a great distraction.

It's expensive to buy I think but Dave said he got it cheaper on Steam. Or maybe find a similar game to play that is absorbing?
