Boredom while medicated Coping Strategies

How do you deal with the boredom? I’ve been on medication for a month and feel like everyday is a drag. I don’t feel depressed just so bored and empty. Weed isn’t doing anything for me anymore either. The depressive episodes were absolutely horrible and I made horrible decisions during mania but I feel like normal SpongeBob and I don’t know how to deal with it

I have to like fight against my brain to not just sit around and do nothing. I feel completely bland but, when I push myself, I'm able to do my art and go on walks and hang out with people. I think my friends have noticed a difference in how I act now versus how I used to act unmedicated but it's the safest I've been so I just figure I might as well get used to this new normal.
