Is anyone else just bored

Everyday of their life. With everything
I have mild depression and am medicated but I just find myself bored every single day and get no enjoyment from anything. Anyone else have these moments at all?

No. Absolutely not. I find something I enjoy and do it. I’m busy at work, and enjoy it, and exercise with friends. Read a book, watch tv, walk mountains etc

Do you know I was thinking about this the other day. I've always had so many of the symptoms of adult adhd . Think is what do you do about it?

That's the thing though. I don't find anything I enjoy. Or if I think about things I once did enjoy I just feel meh

I am rarely bored.

I don't need much external excitement and I am not needy from others.

How about trying something completely new and different?! Something you thought once “no way!”

When one of my children was little, they told me they were bored and I asked if they were actually relaxed and tired, and sometimes that's what they were and they wanted a sleep and didn't want to in the daytime.

Honestly since I was diagnosed I've just embraced it. Getting frustrated over the bordom just made it worse. I Got diagnosed at 8 weeks pregnant so I haven't tried medication yet .

Yes. I was in the park there. Very tearful ..tried antidepressants and they were not for me.
So I trudge on. Hope you feel better soon op.

Yes, I’m bored. I’m single and don’t want to socialise all the time because I find it draining if I do it too much, but I cba with lots of stuff at home. I end up scrolling endlessly.
I’m a bit depressed at the moment though, and waiting for the meds to kick in.

See I would love that. To just be happy to 'be' It's def something I can't do. I'm always thinking as well which is a problem

I'm always thinking as well which is a problem I'm like this, get bored in minutes and always need something to distract me. I've got the attention span of a young child. I thought about adult ADHD as well.
