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.

Full honesty though as someone who was going through something/depression/purposelessness back in 2012 and found the world of DnD, Magic the Gathering and Tabletop games it can be dangerous to get into a hobby like DnD because you may end up liking that life over your actual one. Took me 4 years to get out and do something because everyone within that community also had lives they didn't want to get back to and kept enabling each other.
