My Great Guilt
Apr 25, 2026
104
As the title imply, I've had a lot of trouble enjoying hobbies due to what I imagine to be pretty severe depression. When I motivate myself to play some video games (kinda pathetic I know), I just blank on the menu screen, or I try to play but it just leaves me completely numb. In the moment, it just feels like I'm exhausted from it, like I've played too much of it and all. Same goes with all my other hobbies.
I enjoy skateboarding, graffiti, reading comics and playing video games, but I've barely done any of these in a fat while (except when I get on the games with friends, that always motivate me).
One thing that has never failed me is cinema. Tho I have noticed the same effects as I previously described, feeling numb and bored from it and all, I've still managed to somewhat enjoy it and watch around a movie a day. But I can't just watch movies all day so I'd like to have my other passions back.
Maybe some people might tell me to try out new hobbies, but it's honestly even worse. I dropped them basically instantly.
So yeah if anyone is living something similar or has advice lmk

I'm struggling similarly. Video games are one of my passions but when I'm so depressed, I don't find any joy out of it and I just stop. Sometimes trying out a new game triggers a bug to play again, so I'll try out a new game or two to try and get the hobby going again. I don't have much advice, but I hope you're able to enjoy your hobbies again.
