How to cope with boredom possibly due to adult adhd

I have a MH diagnosis that I believe is incorrect. One adult dd diagnosed with adhd, the other not diagnosed but showing signs. Never knew much about it, but looking into it saw many of my own traits. I'm not bothered about a diagnosis as wouldn't take meds anyway, already taking anti depressants, but would welcome ways to cope.

My main problems at the moment are insomnia, because I'm bored laid in bed! And boredom in general, leading to impulsive purchases that I can't afford. In the past pedigree cats, tech. Also I eat when bored.

Anyone else suffer in this way and has anyone found ways to cope? Dd without a diagnosis suffers in the same way, she gets a piercing or tattoo on impulse. I've done this in the past but not really what I want right now 🤷‍♀️

Please don't attack me, I'm aware this isn't normal or sensible and I'm trying to find ways to get to grips with it. The problem is I've zero motivation to do things that would distract me. My only hobbies are reading and the odd phone/Gameboy game. I like to walk, but have physical problems that stop me doing most sports and anxiety that stops me from taking classes anyway.
