Bored Depression

I've had Major Depressive Disorder for 10 years, and in the last 2, it's gotten severe. The feeling is like being out in the middle of the ocean treading water for hours, and you can't see anyone coming to save you. Lately, I've been struggling with boredom, but because of the depression, I don't want to do anything and it makes me very antsy. Any tips or tricks you guys do to combat the boredom while still not being able to really do much?

Thanks!

Do you have any creative hobbies like knitting or sewing or art? I find those help me.
