Boredom sapping the joy out of everything

I don't know what my problem is, but I am just so bored. Lockdown didn't help, since I lost my job and was unemployed for months, but I'm back working now, yet can't seem to get any enthusiasm for it anymore. I can't be bothered with anything really, it's like the boredom has become so entrenched that I can't shift it. If I have free time I can't be arsed to do anything, but if I'm busy then I'm still bored but stressy too. I don't know how to snap out of it. I just feel so lackluster. I don't think I'm depressed, already on anti-depressants anyway, but I really don't have any joy in my life at the mo. Is this just how it is these days?

I’m too busy to be bored so can’t really relate. I’d look at what you enjoy in life. Do you enjoy work? Are you suited to the job as you mentioned you’d lost your previous job?
You mentioned antidepressants, is this something you’ve been taking for a long time, perhaps you need a chat with your doctor.
