First of all, make sure you are treating your depression as best you can: talk to a professional, take medication if prescribed, work out (in whatever capacity interests you, I prefer lifting), eat well, drink lots of water.
Second, what are your hobbies and interests?
Third, why couldn't you get a mind numbing minimum wage repetitive manual labor part-time job while still in school? I've found those types of jobs pretty good at motivating you to do something more interesting.
Lastly, why do you think you're bored? What internal or external factors depriving you of motivation/drive? How can you remove or eliminate those factors?
I take meds for my depression. I dfont hav ehobbys and im interested in things out of my range that are nerdy like game making, content creating, speedrunning, gaming but i can never bring myself to do them.
Im afraid to drive and i like being at home also im autistitc who has issues and my family says i cant get a job intill i pass highschool/college, so im hoping i can doa sidehustle or something from home.
What do you mean out of your range? You can definitely learn to make games, could even document your learning journey (creating content), could stream or record gameplay / speedruns etc.
If you know there are things you enjoy but are bored and unmotivated to do them, you could try to commit to just playing a game for 20 mins. If you feel like carrying on, do it if not you can at least say you didn't just sit around doing nothing. Cherish the small victories and build up from there. All easier said than done of course but it's good to try, doesn't matter if you succeed or not.
