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 :)

      It can depend on where you’re located and how deep you get into the sport. For beginner classes, in my area, they are ~$100 for 6 weeks. It gets more expensive once you need your own gear and if you choose to compete and/or take private lessons.

      I think the most comparable comparison in costs are probably club hockey and club soccer.

        Oh That is actually… not that bad. I think, once I find a job again, I will definitely go for it. Thanks
