As someone who went through an extended period of unemployment due to various RL circumstances, I hate to disappoint you but it actually gets pretty boring pretty quickly. It SOUNDS like a great and appealing thing, but the shine wears off it very fast.

DA Disabled. I adjusted. Other things fill up the time and take up the little energy that I have.

Speak for yourself. The extended period I was unemployed for ended way too soon as far as me loving the free time. The only issue was the stress of needing a job and the stress of money.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe for you. I can entertain myself.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, same. I was unemployed for most of my 20s due to disability. I did get to do some fun things I can't do now as a full timer, but not only does spending every day at home or doing errands get boring... but when you have unmedicated ADHD, it gets overwhelming to have all the free time in the world, but no executive function to sit and Watch The Things or Play The Games. I just cycled through what I already liked.

Yeah, there's a reason so many people retire only to go back to working part-time or volunteering. My coworker and his husband are both like that - they retired for a couple of years, did some traveling and other things they'd always wanted to do, but then wound up getting bored. My coworker is now working part-time and his husband has a volunteer thing he does.

I don't understand this at all. If I didn't have to worry about money I would never get bored. I don't really know anyone who works just because they're bored, only people who need the income. I do know people who volunteer and join social groups for the mental health, but that is different than a job.

Not for me it doesn't. I've had periods where I wasn't working and loved it - lots of time for sleeping in, lazing around, cooking/baking projects I don't normally have time for, hiking, hitting thrift stores and garage sales, just driving around to whatever looks interesting on a map, discovering a cute little ice cream parlor I'd never been to, reading ALL THE BOOKS, watching bunches of TV, planning a cookout with friends and family...

I think it depends on the situation. I was unemployed for about three months and loved it because I had savings and didn't have to worry. When I was unemployed for about two weeks, it was the most stressful time of my life, and I spent most of my awake time job hunting.

Do you have any hobbies? I've had extended periods of unemployment, too. What made it stressful was worrying about money, not boredom. If I didn't have to worry about income, I'd have plenty of things to fill my days... and that is in fact what I did, to take my mind off the stress. I made a big dent in my reading list, finished a few projects around the house that I hadn't gotten around to, actually succeeded in growing delicious tomatoes that summer, learned to make kimchi, got a lot of exercise in walking the dog, experimented with crochet which I still suck at but it's fun to play around with crafting. Like forgive me, but it doesn't sound like you have a lot going on if you're that easily bored, but I wouldn't assume it's the same way for everyone.
