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.

Mountain biking.

Not op, but really interested in the sport.

What would one do when there are no mountains around them?

Sincerely,

Someone in a >flat< country 🇩🇰

I live 8 hours away from mountains so I understand. I try to drive out when I can a couple times a year but I ride local trails 3-5 times a week. One of the most popular mountain biking destinations in the USA has no mountains (bentonville).

You can search your area on mtb project and find trails.

It's worthwhile as long as there are trails, even if they are more or less flat

I'm not a big fan of road biking, due to the behavior of car drivers.
