That's a key difference between depression and boredom.
Boredom is you can't find something to do that is fulfilling, eg, not having a hobby.
Chronic depression is being restricted from doing something that will make you feel better, be it no energy, overly pessimistic beliefs of outcome, or similar mental states that can cause these mental blocks. Depression often has a lack of feeling, even sex drive is reduced, from this. Note, depression is not just the lack of feeling, as there are other disorders, even kinds of brain damage that can reduce feeling, without depression. Also, this is not depressive episodes, which is a separate topic.
Depression is hard to get out of when one is mentally blocked from doing fulfilling activates. Boredom is easier to get out of, because they will get around to doing something fulfilling, either immediately, or usually within the next day or two and the boredom goes away.
