Boredom

>>18065412

this kind of boredom reeks of someone who has too many stimulants to pick from and/or has little to no physical activity level to speak of.

I feel the same way as OP a lot of the time. Getting a lot of sun helps, go on a long 20+ minute walk as early in the day as you can. So does strenuous exercise, lifting, sprints, skateboarding. But its still not the same as it was when you were in high school. I can't play WoW all night while losing track of the time or be so interested in a book that I finish it in one sitting. Maybe that doesn't come back, you can still enjoy things, but to expect to enjoy them at the level you did when you were a kid may be the issue.

I'm sorry if i can't help you but i can relate to this.

I've been through this phase for 4 years straight. Depression diagnosis made it worse. Now i'm slowy crawling out of it. Started to play one or two games again, started playing my guitar again...

But sometimes i catch myself scrolling through 4chan, facebook, etc for hours and hours straight. This sensation is the most terrible thing i ever felt. This is worse than any pain desu. Maybe >>18065419 is right in the end.

Let me ask you something so i can look deeper into this: Are you studying/working? Anything (even foreign language schools or Powerpoint classes)

Also, do you drink alcohol or smoke cigars/weed?

>Maybe that doesn't come back, you can still enjoy things, but to expect to enjoy them at the level you did when you were a kid may be the issue.

yes, this. i still dearly love video games from my youth and the place they hold in my heart is still strong and evocative, but i'm not the same person and I don't have it in me to play those games as I am now. I play different ones or find different tasks. and it should be ok to grow up because we all do it in some metric.

but when I felt the kind of boredom OP describes its because I wasn't engaging in any neanderthalishly strenuous and satisfying physical activity like a human should be.

This hits pretty close to home in regards to too many stimulants to pick from. Maybe if I try cutting everything down and focusing on one or two things to really work towards it could help. My life as of now is work all day 7-7 five days a week, come home too mentally exhausted for any other activities, end up doing nothing then just go to sleep and get up for work for the same cycle next day. I thought I'd be able to look forward to days off since I have all these things at my disposal but they just dont do it for me anymore and I start wishing I was at work so I was doing *something*

I had a spell of depression the last time I was in school and I flunked out of my classes. I've been working a full time job since then. I honestly don't know if Im going to go back, none of the classes or anything really pique my interests. I want to study a dead language and learn an instrument eventually but the work leaves me so mentally and emotionally exhausted that I'd rather do something else. Then I end up sitting around thinking of something to do because none of what's available seems too great.

Also yeah, occasionally I'll have a couple drinks a few nights a week. Usually beer or vodka. I've smoked weed a few times but I'm not that into it desu, I usually avoid it bc I get munchies and gorge myself.
