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 :)

    That sounds incredibly cool. Knowing myself I’d probably cut a finger off, but that’s definitely something I’d like to try at some point!

      Haha yeah it’s pretty fun!! I’m pretty sure I’d also cut myself if I used a live blade but that’s what trainers are for, they just have a blunt edge so the worst you’ll get are a couple knuckle raps :)

      Would definitely recommend! It’s really fun learning new tricks n stuff and with enough practice you can do some really cool stuff (I’m not there yet though :P)
