I think just time caused it to get better. And over time, you get ideas, try little things, which helps your boredom a little.
The extreme boredom may have begun when i had kind of a nervous breakdown. I was depressed, suffering severely from toxic mold (so had breathing difficulties), went to hospital, then a respite place. But then i got stressed there, couldn't sleep, on a new medication - so i asked to go back home, which is when my hallucinations started (i believed there were people stalking my house with a gun, talking, walking around, clicking the gun chamber), so i rang the police a few times, in fear for my life, ran up the road to a house, police fetched me from there, and i ended up in a mental hospital for a week or so. After that, i definitely had extreme boredom. There was absolutely nothing i was interested in doing. And staying in bed made me more depressed.
What i do now when i'm bored, is usually:
- Drink alcohol (shifts the mood)
+ Crisps/crackers/chocolate/etc junk food
+ Play games on the computer (eg tetris)
+ Play music on youtube (eg heavy metal, doom metal, hard rock)
- I also go outside a few times (or at least once) & walk around, clocking up steps on my pedometer (watch); when it's warm & fine is when i usually do this (& when i'm bored)
It's still very much a work in progress, dealing with my boredom (& other difficult moods). I'm trying to read a little bit, but i haven't got much patience/interest, but i'm trying.
