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.

    Climbing / bouldering

    I concur with most other people in this thread. Any exercise will do wonders. This is coming from a guy who’s been into nerdy stuff my entire life - getting into a rhythm of actually wanting to do exercise is alfa omega.

    I’m throwing bouldering into the pool of options. I’ve heard people with ADHD often get really into it because it is easy to get into, and does not demand a lot of prep work.

    It can be expensive some places, but if the thing makes me work out without me even “knowing it” then it’s worth the money for me.

      I don’t think I have ADHD but it really was a sport that when I started it just felt right. It’s never a chore to do and in most places you get to talk to a lot of different people while doing it.

      Also it’s really easy to make friends while bouldering, especially if you find another group of people with the same skill level. Working problems together is great fun, but you still get to try the problem on your own.

      Also fit climber men and women tend to be stupidly hot.
