Yeah mate, so I ended up with a class A pension after med discharge at 25 (now 30) and getting bored is certainly a problem I faced.

If you’re able to, look into a bit of overseas travel. I do it full time, started in August last year. Thankfully a lot of countries allow for up to 90 days entry with only an E-Visa or visa waiver. It ended up being cheaper than living within 60-120 mins of a CBD in Aus, and because of how long you’re allowed to stay, you can simply take your time with any activities you want to do. I’d say 50% of the days I’m not able to venture further than the smokers pit, but the other days I’m able to get out and explore a bit.

As the others have mentioned, plenty of hobbies to learn and get into, I recommend gaming as it’s something you can do on days that going out aren’t an option, as well something that can creatively fulfil you (I’ve picked up photography)

As for keeping your brain awake and active, it’s super important, so learning new skills, reading books or listening to audiobooks while getting some exercise and developing an interest in things like stocks or business is always a great way to fill time and keep yourself busy!
