What is a good hobby for a depressed person?

QuietStorm@lemm.ee to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 382 points –

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.

For me getting back into LEGO really helped, it's a nice and relaxing activity. Also depending on your interests a hobby like flying FPV quadcopters can be a lot of fun. Forces you to go outside too which is always good :-)

I just picked up a DJI avata, while not the fastest pov, it is a really fun experience.

I also got into Legos when I was depressed. In general, working with your hands helps with depression.
