-ing adjectives describe the thing that causes the feeling, such as a "boring" book or "frustrating" situation. -ed adjectives describe how the person feels and are used with a form of "to be" and a preposition, like "I'm bored with class" or "She was depressed by the notice." Some -ed adjectives like "relieved" and "stressed" do not have an -ing form.
