I have had that rather often. It is often a sign that I am not taking good care of myself--if I'm eating junk, or I'm not fighting off my depressive tendencies like I ought to, I end up with boredom issues. (I should note that actual depression is quite impossible to "fight off" because you lack fight. I think it's possible to raise the odds that you won't have it in the first place, though.)

Got it in one - you need hope to pull yourself out of depression, but depression makes you feel hopeless.

I was often bored as a child and I think its because I didn't have much in the way of imagination. I did used to love to line up coins as a young child but I did eventually outgrow that and became less bored when my preferred interests took off. Finding the right space where I wouldn't be disturbed was the challenge then.
