Hi

I'm bored. Not bored as in regular boredom, but bored to the point where I feel desperate for a solution. I have quite an eventful life, with more than I could wish for. Still, it doesn't feed my long lasting boredom. It's been like this for most of my life. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, Bipolar and ADHD (by different psychiatrists), but every diagnose has been cancelled because they admit they have no clue what causes this boredom. My "manic" acts is merely a way to ease the boredom, so it doesn't really constitute a symptom of bipolar. It should be pointed out that I'm quite an "active" guy. I have a lot of energy, and some people perceive me as hyper active (hence the ADHD diagnosis). Lately I've been engaging in impulsive behavior to ease the mental state I'm in, but it doesn't fix it. I feel really empty. I'm not particularly depressed either. So my numbness is most likely not a result of depression. It just makes me really really frustrated.

What kind of illnesses cause such long lasting and intense boredom? And more importantly, how do I cope?

Regards
