How to cope with everything being so mind-numbingly boring?

I’ve been at the point now for the past few months where I literally don’t enjoy anything. No matter what I do it just feels like I’m bored out of my mind. Even having sex and doing the things I like just aren’t fun. Ive been in treatment for a while but have made no progress. How do I cope with life being so boring? I’m sober now because I have to pass a drug test for the job I want so I can’t get fucked up anymore. I am really excited about this job, but it will likely be another six months to a year before i can start. The idea of staying where I am and feeling this way for another six months is unbearable. How do I make it through?

I’ve been in a relationship for two months now. I love this person so much. But there have been some problems, none of them my partners fault. I struggle heavily with depression and the weight of a relationship can be a lot to deal with when I struggle to show up for myself a lot of the time. There’s also the problem that we both want different things in life. My partner is getting out of college and is ready to start settling down. I’m a few years younger and want to travel and have a career that has me away most of the year. I’ve been depressed for a long time and always thought traveling and a change of scenery would be good. I told him a few days ago that I wanted to talk about our relationship and he’s been torn up ever since. I really hate myself for putting him through this. I went and saw him yesterday and we didn’t talk, just held each other. I really do love him a lot. But I don’t know what to do about our relationship, I love him but I can’t stand to keep living the life I have been. I’m so depressed just doing the same things going the same places I’ve been all my life. What do I do?
