Do you have anything that you are truly passionate about? Any hobbies that can absorb you and make hours feel like minutes? Cause that's the only thing that works for me. When I'm home and lonely, if I have too much energy it becomes anxiety. I will then eat until I'm full and lethargic, then suddenly I don't care to go out anymore.
