I suspect many of us here have that sense of wanting to escape from reality and seeking the types of distraction you mention. Perhaps you need to find something meaningful in your life. Some way of contributing to the greater good (e.g. helping others). Or perhaps you could focus on creating something (writing, music, painting, gardening etc). Are you retired or do you still work?
Hey there forlorn. Thanks for the response No, I still work. Will probably do so as long as health holds up. I'm in my late 60s but never planned well for retirement You are right forlorn. We WILL fill our lives with something. Still fighting the fight Warm regards Boxer
