What is a good hobby for a depressed person?
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.

Good call on the gloves. I should have said that first.
Glad i could help. It’s an awesome hobby that take very little to start but is pretty rewarding. Check out some videos on YouTube by a guy Doug Linker. He gives tutorials for a lot of great beginner projects. That’s where I started.
Also, shameless plug. Check out this community

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !whittling@sh.itjust.works
Question... I've picked out an egg tutorial to start but my block of wood is double the length of what it should be. Is a coping saw worth buying or will I struggle trying to cut it in half? No access to power tools.
You can do it. Get a saw. Bass wood is pretty soft so it will be annoying but 100% doable. I do it all the time as I also have wrong sized wood and no power tools. Coping saw is good or I also got a Japanese style saw that works pretty well too
