Well, boredom is not depression.

Speaking from experience depression has the power to render everything you used to find passion and joy in utterly unenjoyable. It sucks, and you get bored, and then you feel bad that you are bored and not doing the things you are supposed to enjoy. Have some empathy for those of us struggling :)

OK. You are talking about depression. I am talking about boredom. They are not the same thing, though one may be symptomatic of the other. If you think your boredom is a result of depression, I suggest you seek help somewhere that's not an online forum.

Actually that's a pretty major and common symptom of depression.

Which, again, doesn't mean they are the same thing.
