Yup.
I think sometimes, we're depressed so we don't do anything. We are therefore bored and then become more depressed.
Vicious Circle.

It can be a vicious cycle and one that's hard to break.
Even when I'm not depressed I don't do much (I live a boring life) so I find that old depression trying to sneek up on me. The trick is trying to learn when bordom is the problem and then figuring out what to do about it.

I think i plays a huge role in depression. When I cant or don't find constructive things to do then I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. Also doing things gives you something to talk about with other people, which gives you positive reinforcement. Something i find myself needing a lot of.

In the past and not to distant I might add, when I get bored is when I also get into trouble. Erratic behavior, boredom and depression all go hand in hand for me. I find my self lately wanting to do constructive things but then the OCD kicks in and it's a vicious cycle all over again.
My therapist told me to remember H.A.L.T.
Try not to be hungry, angry, lonely or tired. All of those can be triggers.
