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.

Gardening is great and forces you to care for a thing.

But it's also hard for someone with depression, because you will kill things while you learn, and that can make you feel even more worthless and useless.

THAT SAID. If you try it and actually discover you have an interest in it, it's a lot easier to get past the, "Fuck, I killed another one!" and slide into, "How do I not fucking kill another one?!"

Aww I wish I could give you a hug

Aww, thanks. It's ok, though. I'm getting a lot better at figuring out how not to kill my plants now and just get sad for a little while when one dies. Mostly. Lol

Start with peas I'd recommend. They grow and produce quickly. Super tasty right off the vine too.
