What you're feeling is a common human emotion. It's primarily caused by our modern world being so mismatched from the environment of our ancestors, which is more naturally matched to our expectations.

How to combat this is an open problem in modern psychiatry. 

Some techniques have been reported to help:
- Make a conscious effort to maintain human connections. Reach out to a friend, attend a meetup for a hobby, spend time in a public market or event.
- Make a change. Rearrange furniture, try a standing desk, or get outside for a brisk walk. Out brains are prediction engines and too much sameness can increase the feeling you describe.
- Try to match your activities to the ancestral environment, within reason. Get time outside, solve puzzles with friends, do high intensity physical activity followed by deep rest, do cozy activities in winter and be more active in summer.

While the thoughts you describe are quite expected, if they lead to more intrusive thoughts, reach out to professionals or helplines in your area, who can help. Take care, and let me know how I can help, there are a variety of mundane tasks you may be able to unload to a virtual assistant!
