Who's your favorite psychologist? I love Skinner. Because I agree with him that free will is an illusion. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but it's mine.

The only hobby I have is drink and cry.

I like Jung, even though he can sound a bit cliche

Jung is also foundational. I like his side a lot better than Freud's... Haha
Jung was an amazing writer.

i used to play video games a lot but as my mental health declined for some reason i cant sit down for 10 mins and commit to a game. its sad because i used to love it as an escape.

 

[avoid_slow_death]

Used to get into all kinds of things. Reading mostly which I still do time to time, but lately, not really. Nothing seems to interest me anymore except this forum and my current fucked up situation. Guess my hobby now is trying to stay alive.

I'm sort of feeling total anhedonia at the moment, I used to have passions that I enjoyed but not so much right now.

I had Anhedonia for the longest time. I still have bouts of it to this very day. I try to take it easy, and only focus on hobbies when I am able to. I know how you feel.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

I only have a couple of hobbies. One of those is meteorology. I love to read about and study everything related to the weather, but I don't necessarily want to make a career out of it because I fear that doing so would take the fun out of it. I've even gone amateur storm chasing a couple of times and I had a blast, even though I didn't see any tornadoes in person. Just seeing the lightning and the cool cloud formations was enough to get the adrenaline going.

The second hobby is writing pornographic fiction for fetish sites. I don't do it very often because of depression, but when the darkness lifts, I go back to it again.

Learning about the natural world is cool! I like Paleontology!

One of my favourite activities in geology was drawing trilobites.

I loved drawing Ammonites!!!

Ammonites are sexy. All those curves lol. I saw the pyritized ones up at Robin Hoods Bay years ago.

 

[Genetics]

I haven't had a hobby since adulthood until 6-7 months ago. I always hated it when a mental health professional would ask me what my hobbies were, what i enjoyed doing in my free time. I would say nothing and well more of nothing.

My husband found me a hobby! LOL

I have arthritis in my hands. I also have Essential Tremors in my hands, right worse than left. So I couldn't color, paint, needle work, etc. My husband discovered Paint with Diamonds online and I'm hooked now. It's not painting and it's not diamonds. It's a wonderful waste of time that lasts for hours. now I have a bunch of finished works that I'm stuck with. I need a hobby that doesn't produce anything.

 

[oneess]

Hmm..

I guess my primary hobby is vaping, it probably sounds weird, but with the help of some of my friends from my recovery group I stopped smoking cigarettes thanks to Vapes and since then built an arsenal of devices and liquids :)

I guess my only healthy hobby besides that one is just walking and meeting with friends from my recovery group.

But with the quarantine and all my only hobby right now is sleeping lol

 

[Maxximilian]

Not hobbies, just copes to distract me from my life.

Me and my boyfriend vape. He has an old dripping mod that he doesn't use anymore. We both now have basic aspire pockex ecigs. We order all our eliquids on line. We have loads off liquids too, loads of coils also. I stopped smoking cigerettes over 4 years ago. Vaping definitely helped me give up cigarettes.

I haven't seen those. I love to see them.

 

[silent staring void]

This is my favorite thread on here tbh, I love reading about you guys' hobbies.
I started geocaching recently and I'm obsessed with it right now, I'm finding so many cool places that I didn't know of before, even though having to avoid people because of corona makes it difficult. Does anyone else do it?
Also, I got a field just for this summer. Kind of expensive but if my plants don't die I can probably make more money on it than I spent.

 

[Vanity]

drawing,fitness,anime,manga,light novels,jrpgs and psycho-analysis

 

[tooStupidForExitBag]

Have a couple. Watching anime, I play Magic: The Gathering (or did, no longer have anyone to play with), currently learning Japanese, and slowly learning how to ride inlines.

 

[cattalk610]

I feel you.. I don't have hobbies, and just thinking about it discourage me to keep going in life. Some people spend their time doing sport.. painting..singing.. writing. And i'm just here being good at absolutely nothing. And knowing that if i want to start something, i'll obviously be bad at the beginning exhaust me. I used to "like" drawing, i even started an animation school, but i dropped out because of my depression. And i wasn't actually enjoying it. Now it's been months i havent draw anything. Because i have huge anxiety just drawing. My drawings are never good enough, and seeing everybody around me being better, i just can't find pleasure in this anymore.

 

[SuicidalSymphonies]

Writing, drawing, singing, listening to music and playing video games usually when I actually feel alright.

 

[BPD Barbie]

Gaming, photography, crafts like jewellery making etc. I used to have many hobbies and interests but they all sort of fizzled out into nothing.

Some pics of the jewellery I used to make.

 

[sunny.sativa]

I'm sort of proud of my hula hooping abilities.

that sounds weird but I do cool tricks and illusions with a hoop. If you've ever been to a rave or EDM concert or maybe coachella, you probably know what I'm talkin' about.

Yes!! I used to be a rhythmic gymnast! When I was younger! I did ribbon, ball and hoop!!! Yay!!!

 

[RayoSinSol]

I have yet to stick to anything long enough to really get good at anything, but I like trying to grow plants, I like cooking, and I like to sing.

I dream of someday finding the perfect mix between a dyscalculia therapist and a music teacher, so that I can actually get into music and really do something with it instead of just singing random songs in my room alone.

I like singing too! I find it therapeutic.

Agree! Good point. Staying in bed just lets my emotions fester. Go for a walk and my mind leaves the place it was in.
