Yeah i think many get there....it's a grind.
Still got to pick some hobbies you can enjoy or even teach yourself something new. Make sure to get outside.
Set some small goals for yourself to get done in the next couple of months then go from there.

I’d suggest finding a good tv show to watch at night, maybe hit up a new quick food restaurant. A raising canes opened never me and has been great
You can also follow some cool social media members for latest news and gossip.
Good luck.

I go through phases of the same.
My new thing is fishing with the old timer 4 houses down. Pretty cool old man. Did a few tours in Vietnam so i appreciate that as a former marine.
Of course, i miss my granddaddy more than anything so i sorta adopted him as the next best thing.
I was going through lots of the same thoughts as you so i realized after taking time to talk to him, that he loved to fish. I would give anything on earth to get to fish with my granddaddy one more time so this is sort of my new hobby and that old man is pretty excited to go everytime.
And I’m all for it. It’s better than doing dumb shite like going to the bar.
My point to all this is look outside the box and sometimes the answer is not the far away as you think.

Yes, stress through the roof with work and family.

I have been feeling this hard over the last year or so. Growing up, there always seemed to be something to work towards, some goal to achieve, some form of mental stimulation. Even through grad school.
Then you get into the work force and you realize you don't want your boss' miserable-looking job, you toil away at your job, days turn into weeks, which turn into months, which turn into years, and you're left wondering, where did time go?
The same hobbies, same routines, same job, same city, same everything it feels like. And those priors of living out west, in the mountains, going on adventures, slips further and further away.
I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate this all. Do I need more hobbies? Do I need to suck it up, pay the exorbitant amount of money, and just take a leap of faith, knowing it might not work out?
I'm not sure, but all of this to say, you're not alone in feeling bored with life.

Have you dealt with any major stresses lately?
My wife fricking my friend and divorce/child support has me very meh. I wonder what the point of everything is when 20% of my money goes to her for child support. Unfortunately the things I love to do cost money, and I simply don’t have too much of it these days. Drinking cheap booze, napping, getting overweight is no way to go through life, yet here I am.

Take 1000mg of Tribulus daily. Give it 3 weeks.
Also, get a good brand, not the shite they have at big box stores. Find one that has the fruit and aerial parts of the plant.
I was in the same situation and this shite completely reversed my chronic apathy.
DHEA may also be of help too. We lose it as we age.

I'm 83 and still enjoy good sex, good Scotch, good Cuban cigar, my Porsche and honky-tonking with my lady. Life is good.
I think everyone has feelings similar to OP at some point in their middle ages.

Same. I think this is what they call “life” but not sure.

No joke. He’s gotta have money, because I’m pretty sure being rich would solve 99.9% of my issues.

Eh, you get old enough, all the extra you really want to do on the weekend is wander around Home Depot for a bit, mow the lawn, tinker around a little in the garage, and play with the dog.
No shame in that.

You need to re-evaluate this to be honest.

I've noticed people who say they don't watch sports; their team sucks. Gotta ride with them when they are down.

Agree with this, money really ain't everything. As long as I have enough money to go to any restaurant and buy wtf I want.

Get your T levels checked seriously. It happens especially in your 40s and beyond

Any other hobbies? I'd say try and pick up golf but since you haven't tried fishing you might not stick with it. Since you bought the fishing gear, you might as well give it a go.
Going to the gym is certainly an energy boost when you stick with it. Going to the gym gives me the energy to golf/hunt/work around the house, instead of just watching TV.
I'm in to collectibles like sports cards and sports memorabilia. Other random stuff to keep me busy. Traveling, concerts, etc.
I'm not on testosterone but it certainly helps a lot of people, obviously would want to talk to a Dr about it. And if you think it's depression kicking, despite what this board says, therapy can help. Nothing wrong with talking with someone other than your family and friends that can actually give you some professional help.
You're in a rut, just got to find a way to get back out of it.
