I have similar issues, although my madness is different from yours. For years, I was too moronic and semi-psychotic and agitated to enjoy TV, movies, or anything; I couldn't even become bored because all I was capable of was eating, sleeping, and occasionally bathing and making conversation.
I'm miraculously healed of being a moron, and I'm more interested in life, so now I am becoming bored. And it sucks. I'm bored and acutely aware of just how far I have to go (at age 27) to crawl back into normal life. Honestly, sometimes when I'm in public, especially around people my own age, I feel like I don't belong. Its not just the "mental illness;" its a sense that I haven't been socialized properly or something--like I'm feral.
Anyway, I see my boredom as a positive thing, and I think its a good sign for you, too. When your faculties have been restored to the extent that you can actually touch your boredom and misery and articulate it, then make plans to work through it or at least find a way to engage in life to keep the boredom at bay, then I think you've made significant progress.
