I'm usually pretty good at determining if I'm in a depressive episode or not, but lately I can't tell. I've just become so incredibly bored with people and certain forms of social media. It's all the same. No one ever has anything interesting to do or say. No one ever posts anything inspiring. I've become so bored and uninspired by my usual hangouts on the internet; I used to waste time sh!t posting and reading gossip forums like this one, but lately I get bored easily and want to improve and be better than that. Strangely I feel bad about feeling this way because sometimes I want to be as illusionary and nonchalant as others come across. Do you ever feel that way? Like everyone else has rose colored glasses on and you're one of the few who doesn't wear them and, as a result, you see the world how it actually is?

I don’t think that’s depression. I think it’s fine.

You want to expand your mind. Read a book, learn something new. I want to try ichibana.

It’s also spring. Take a walk, be out in nature.

Depression to me is a complete lack of motivation. When I’m going through an episode all I want to do is sleep and escape the world. Total bleakness. It’s so terrible.

This sounds like boredom and wanting a change of scenery. It sounds like you need to make new friends or take a class in something that interest you. Cheesy, but maybe create some Pinterest/vision boards of your passions. Travel if you can even if it’s to the next city over. Doing the same thing over and over becomes mind numbing. It’s time to refresh your brain and get a new outlook.

Imo is sound as if you want more simulation. I could be wrong because I hear you say that you are bored with social media and want more but also feel bad for not being nonchalant... At the end of the day, choose you! If social media is BLAH and you want more... go get and be more! I'm sure others feel the same as you and are looking for exactly what you could potentially provide. Best of luck.

Does your feelings of boredom come with bouts of sadness, anxiety? How are you sleeping? Eating?

if all of these are irregular then you can be dealing with onset depression. In my useless opinion it sounds like you need to feel challenged, especially with this pandemic things are monotonous. Working out and picking up a new hobby can help

No, it sounds like you're just bored. This site is boring as sh!t now and it sucks because I came here from social media (IG and Facebook,) which got boring too. I mostly just lurk on here these days when im doing other activities, which leads me to this: Find another activity.

Is it just people and social media you're bored with, or does it extends to hobbies? If you're not entertained by anything it could be a depressive episode.

Depression can take many forms. Then getting bored with what life currently has, or routine, can be confusing.
