I get it. Been there, primarily when I would work on projects I just didn't see the point of. Or if you have spent the last 5 years building e-commerce solutions (just an example) over and over for different people it can get really mundane, unchallenging and frustrating at times.

I think you need to identify whether you are bored/frustrated with the domain or with the work. e.g. do you enjoy being a dev and just not the domain or are you just over writing code and dealing with projects etc.

If domain is bothering you, find a new company and domain where your skills can be used on something that would excite you.

If it is software in general that is causing you to feel this way then maybe you should do the math. Especially if you are younger, starting over isn't unreasonable if you can live on a smaller paycheck for a while. But you'll have to find something that would motivate you and excite you. And I'd suggest if you need training for it that you do that while getting paid at your current job.

If you have kids and are a bit older you can still change but you just need to be more careful and it might take a bit longer, especially being the sole income for the family. But I would suggest you actively start making a change (whatever it may be) or you will get stuck in a rut and fear the change more and more.
