In Need of a Distraction

The old saying goes if you have an itch, scratch it... I have learned that scratching for me usually makes things worse. With eczema ignoring the itch has become an everyday annoyance. Physical scratches have never been my problem, it is the mental itches that catch me off guard. Whether it be drinking, smoking, feeling jealous or trying to help people. When I have a physical itch I find something to distract myself from that itch. I need to teach myself the same trick with my mental itches. Work has always been my best distraction. Go to work and just focus, do work and finish work then move on to the next job. With my employment so day to day another distraction is in order.

Someone to spend time with, roommates, best friends or even a crush is always a great distraction. However I have no crushes... My roommates are usually busy and my best friends are working. So whats next? Music is always a great time spender and I play quite a bit... Could i play more? Of course there is always more, but sometimes music gets me into moods where the mental itches become more of a problem. Missing someone also doesnt help. So where do I find new distractions?
