    Constantly bored.
    At the moment, despite having plenty going on, I just constantly feel bored. I'm doing a research project this summer and that's boring me despite it being a great opportunity working with some really intelligent and supportive people. I've recently become bored of Christopher Hitchen's memoirs even though when I bought it I couldn't put it down, I went paintballing on Saturday and felt bored, same that night when I went clubbing. I've just tried watching Breaking Bad and couldn't get interested at all, the same happened yesterday when I only made it into the first 10 minutes of two different films before losing interest. Football manager-no. Fifa- no. I could continue

    I don't think I've felt like this before, normally I can find something- anything- to occupy my mind but nothing is interesting me. I don't think I'm depressed and I've no reason to be- I have everything I need to be happy.

    Has anyone got any advice or experiences to share of feeling like this?

    Can be a symptom of depression, but sometimes people can just get fed up. Fed up of things that usually make them happy, fed up of routine, no purpose etc. Everything seems mundane, and this affects other things in your life you usually enjoy. I would suggest organising something that will get your adrenaline going? Surround yourself with a different group of people, visit family...

    Sometimes we just feel like we're in a rut, and everything seems like a chore. Of course if it doesn't pass, it could be something more.
