Hmmmmmm 1 question

Dose boredom cause depression or dose depression cause boredom i was just wondering

It goes both ways ...

--Sher

Agreed

I don't think so. Boredom is wanting more, wanting something new, knowing you don't like what you have at the moment.

Depression is completely different, and the two may be linked, but they ain't the same.

Oh man
im so confused lol
im just hopeing that once i start skool my boredom will go away therefore causing my depression to go away idk

Boredom is simply 'wanting more, wanting something new, knowing you don't like what you have at the moment.' Boredom is easy to remedy. Depression is sadness because you want something more, want something new, and you don't like what you have...but a sense of indifference, helplessness, or forcefulness is holding you back from making the changes needed. I would go so far to say that boredom is a symptom of being lethargic and uncreative, whereas depression is less controlled; less voluntary.

Huh

I think it takes energy to be bored, it's like a healthy restlessness.

Depression is a lack of energy I think, from my experience anyway. You aren't bored, you just don't have even the energy to feel anything, not even the boredom with your situation....it's more all encompassing than simple boredom.

Well it goes both ways

And if you're going to post a thread advertising 'one question,' you better throw in a question mark somewhere. Ya know?

Kevin, from my personal experience...Depression isn't exactly boredom. More like indifference and complete lack of motivation. Maybe education and training has taught you many things, but being diagnosed with severe depression several times by several different therapists and psychologists...is a whole different perspective of learning. Just this year, one of my very good friends wrote a midterm paper on my depression. I didn't find out until the paper had been graded and handed back. I'm a generally happy person as long as I don't spend too much time thinking about myself, about everyone, and about life. Thinking hard brings me down. But anyway, I'm losing track of whatever point I'm trying to make.

Sure, you're right. But I would change 'all encompassing boredom' to 'all encompassing indifference.' In a sense, my depression keeps my head up. Not much can be said or done to hurt me, make me uncomfortable, or anger me. I'm indifferent and I think just about everything is humorous.

Agh, I dislike talking about this. I really do.
