Boredom state of mind

Boredom is a dangerous state of mind. All it really is, is you avoiding other things or taking for granted that which you have available to you. All it really is, is a time you spend over thinking, over analysing, and over simplifying your surroundings. Boredom is a serious weapon that your mind uses against you, believe me, I'm bored a lot.
Did you know that people become more depressed when they are bored? This is not only because they have nothing to challenge them, or nothing in terms of hobbies to work on; that's not the most important element here. Boredom can increase depression because you spend your time in and out of your own mind and self thinking and thinking and thinking. Sure, you could be thinking about how to cure something, or how to fix something, but are you really doing that when you're bored? Come on, let's be real here.

When I'm bored I think back to the last stupid thing I said to someone and over analyse it until I feel guilty for having ever said it. When I'm bored I stare at myself in the mirror finding every flaw I can and trying to figure out how I can correct it. When I'm bored I think of people I miss and how impossible it is to have them here by my side. When I'm bored I drive myself insane, one thought at a time. And that's the problem with boredom, static state of mind. I'd rather have my mind racing about something I need to learn, something I want to do, some work to complete than have it unoccupied and turning on me with self destruction in mind.
