    Lol I dislike forbes but there is a good article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanrobinson/2020/09/02/why-neuroscientists-say-boredom-is-good-for-your-brains-health/?sh=69c399611842

    So overall, I think the bigger issue here is the depression, because boredom can be quite nice with a certain mindset. Gives you time to think and wonder what you want, time to be creative or perhaps seek out someone you haven‘t had time for in a while. Boredom for me is a sign that I now have some time to do whatever I like and have no stress (I‘m bored today, so I‘m browsing lemmy and thinking of what I want to do).

    Depression is rough though and something I still haven‘t fully escaped from, but for me what helped was identifying sources of my depression (I had a terrible job for example which had made me much worse for a time and a toxic family member I cut off). With that, therapy can sometimes help because it‘s you telling someone a lot about yourself and they can give you an outside perspective to maybe see where the root of your unhappiness lies.
