There's always hope.
I obviously don't know your level of cooking skills, how much money, time at home or energy you have but I would suggest one or more of the following:-
1/ Google recipes from a cuisine you don't cook at the moment - Chinese, Greek/Middle Eastern, Caribbean or whatever- then try one that seems appealing which doesn't have too many exotic ingredients.
2/ Make this a regular thing - weekly/fortnightly or monthly, whatever.
3/ Buy a cookery magazine or follow a food blog - try a recipe which takes your fancy.
4/ Lunches. Shake things up a bit - try doing toasties/ beans on toast/baked potatoes (from the freezer, it's easier IMHO)/ omelettes/noodle dishes - look in the 'World Food' freezer section of your local supermarket (if it has one) for frozen samosas, or Chinese dumplings, or kebabs.
5/ If you fall back on the humble sandwich, try your usual sandwich filling in a brioche roll, or a tortilla, or a bagel - or lightly stir-fry some veg and other bits and serve it in an egg roll, or a chapatti, or a Staffordshire oatcake.
Pick something, and do it - the first step is always the doozy.2024 Fashion on the Ration - 10/66 coupons used

If you have library, go and check out any book by Rose Elliott or Anna Jones (if not they have decent websites). I find that I only have to read a few things and then I get some inspiration!
I too have struggled with 'cook ahead' veggie meals as they don't freeze as well as meat. However, here's a few ideas to kick off:
Mushrooms are very versatile
Think about 'building blocks' - having a sauce frozen to which you can then add mushrooms, fish, quorn etc. When we make something like a bouillabaisse or gumbo, we always make double or treble the sauce and freeze it.
These freeze very well: HM fishcakes , glamorgan sausages
