What is a good hobby for a depressed person? - eviltoast

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.

      Just learn how to use unity (older c#). Once you start getting into that, you will probably know where to go from there.

      Hehe. Just start with something that a lot of other people also begin with. Like Python. And get a nice book that takes you along the journey.

      If you want to make games, there are lots of free engines out there. Like Godot for example. But I don’t know if this is a good choice for a beginner.

      Just try some. See what you like and what feels good. Watch some YouTube tutorials and find out what other people use to get an overview. Maybe have a look at free software / open source projects.
