Chronic boredom is again more of a BPD thing. At least that was what I was lead to believe from my research.

Personally I dont really get bored, I have too much to do! When I was layed up on the couch in pain boredom tried to sneak in but I kept myself pretty much amused online. I have never suffered from chronic boredom but have lost interest in much around me, and had problems with procrastination.

I am a bit of a thrill seeker. I have bungee jumped, sky dived, rock climbed, snorkeled over reefs, absailed etc, I used to ride racehorses and love theme park rides. Some of those things have been done during hypomania and some at baseline, I am not interested in much thrill seeking during depression.

When you say you get bored of a place quickly, why is that? I've lived in the same place for a number of years and I am still finding new activities in the community to do! What about getting a job? Do you study? What kind of things do you do to fill your time?
