See if indulging your creative impulses helps with the boredom. Give yourself the space to alleviate the boredom before you have to go to risky extremes.
I hope you can alleviate some of this feeling.

Thanks for this, NoIdea! I definitely need to discuss this further with my therapist. I have been unhappy with my job for a while now (I don't think my employer and I are a good fit), and I really want to eventually freelance. It could be that I am feeling stuck, so that is why I'm being a bit impulsive lately.
As for my creativity, that is something I try to focus on each day. But like most creative people, I wish I could do it all day, every day. But gotta pay the bills...
