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 :)

    Solo boardgaming: tons of cooperative games can be played solo. At the moment, my main games are Marvel Champions and Arkham Horror LCG.

    Cross-stitching: maybe the easiest kind of embroidery, perfect for pixel art patterns and you don’t need expensive stuff to get in.

      I’ve been trying to find solo board games for ages but they’re hard to come across. One day I’ll have the courage to go to the board game cafe but not yet
