Hey folks,

I have been trying to find some new hobbies to keep my anxiety/depression at bay. It seems, however, that my mind is not creative enough to find interesting things to do. So, I come to you to ask: What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?

Here are the things I’ve tried:

  • Going to the gym (This is more of a habit than a hobby nowadays)
  • Gaming (I’ve been getting less and less out of it as I get older)
  • Bouldering (It’s fun, but not without a group of friends)
  • TTRPG (I can’t seem to find a steady group or one online, but otherwise, it’s very enjoyable)
  • Learning a new instrument (I started playing the guitar and I love it)
  • Philosophy (Is that a hobby? I enjoy reading and reflecting on it)

So, folks, what are your favorite pastimes?

Thanks :)

    Honestly I have a lot. ADHD has me running in circles trying new things all the time lol.

    Programming (until I turn it into a job). I’m just about to start on some small personal projects, and maybe some open source development. (Maybe contribute to lemmy?)

    Voice Acting, though I haven’t done much in a couple years. Really need to get back on that, it was fun.

    Gaming/TTRPG. My friend groups for this overlap and it’s a good time. I am (willingly) stuck in the forever DM position.

    Watching TV Shows/Anime. Just anything that catches my interest, and I like to do some minor reviewing.

    Reading. I’ll read pretty much any medium. Books, graphic novels, manga.

    Learning Japanese. I’ve made some pretty good progress here, though I’ve fallen a bit behind in my flashcards.
