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.

    If you are lacking motivation, find something where you can start small, or work on in your bedroom. Make it as easy as possible to work on your hobby. Some examples include gaming (switch or laptop right next to the bed), or maille (start small with bracelets and move up to bags and belts before doing anything big).

      And we all have to remember that motivation comes after your first positive experience or first positive interaction with something. Like if you’re working out, first time lost and then uptick in that feel good drug your brain produces. First, you just have to get out there and do whatever it is you want to start doing, that’s why starting is always the hardest part. Because there’s no happy brain drug effect with just simply doing something, you have to get them positive result from it first, then motivation comes
