Hi, welcome
In my years here I've found what I believe to be, a connection between boredom and sound mental health. It's significant if you have a "passion" or not.
A passion is in my view close to or is- an obsession. Nearly every waking moment is spent thinking about it whereas a hobby you pick up more casually.
The problem with a passion is, it's usually inbuilt into your personality from childhood and in adulthood you might leave it but often return to it.
Some passions are wide ranging, like, I'm a jack of all trades- inventer, builder, welder, designer etc so I never get bored. I've built motor vehicles, 2 houses, designed 5 houses, build a miniature train, cubbies etc. I'm about to build a swing seat under our verandah.
My female friend loves ship cruises. Another, golf and he practices every evening. But recently he fell ill and was totally lost.
So, what canyon do? A lot of soul searching is needed. You might have the lack of a partner, live isolated so clubs and sports is hard to join. At any rate I hope it gives food for thought.
