What is a good hobby for a depressed person? (lemm.ee)

So i still have depression and im constantly bored, i feel like a loser who cant do anything right. I want to let my creativeness out, make something i can share with the world or family, but im probably dreaming too big. I cant stand being depressed and bored, it stinks, everyone tells me to work out but i lack the motivation to do so.

i usually just watch youtube all day while complaining to family members that have no idea what to do about me.

Ride a bike. You get exercise, sunlight, cheap transportation, thrills/adventure, and good feelings, it's a win win

And if possible, find a local social bicycling group near you. Adds even more benefits when you are riding with a group

Rollerskating. I started rollerskating last year. Not only is it fun... But it's also great cardio. I was overweight and lost 50 pounds. I don't snore anymore. I don't have high blood pressure anymore. And it's stimulating mentally every time you learn a new move. Not to mention you meet some great people with cool vibes.

Fishing. It’s outside, you get to meet interesting persons, there is a collection side in it and you can reach modest goals which is doing a lot of good.

What sucks about exercise tips is that I live in Florida where there is nowhere to hike.

Stroads everywhere so I can’t bike.

Gyms? Not unless I pay $150 a month.

Walking? Oh right, stroads.

It’s fucking built to be depressing here. I hate Florida.

Go for a bike ride.

If you can afford it, I highly recommend getting an ebike. It can open up a larger range where you can travel if you aren't in the best of shape.

For times when you want to do nothing but watch youtube, learn to knit or crochet so you can feel a little better about doing something.
