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 :)

    My main hobbies are baking, reading, and video games. I love looking up recipes and combining parts of that recipe and techniques I learned from other places. I enjoy baking because it is so scientific and I can experiment and see what turns out well.

    For books, well I have ADHD and have a hard time focusing. so I listen to audiobooks when I drive or clean my apartment. I’m a big fantasy nerd and am very into Brandon Sanderson specifically.

    Other than that I tend to cycle through artistic hobbies and have accumulated quite a lot of art supplies. l
