Do you have a hobby the helps your depression?

[Shortie]

One thing I have noticed throughout the years I have suffered from depression is that having a hobby can help to some extent and it's wise to have a hobby that you enjoy that helps with getting through those tough times.

I myself always turn to playing video games when I am feeling depressed. If I can shut off in a game for a while and take my mind of everything whilst playing a game I find it really helps with how I feel in terms of depression.

Do you have a hobby that helps with your depression? What is it?

Spending time at the beach makes me feel quite better when I'm feeling down. I love taking my dogs with me. If the beach isn't possible, watching a good movie does a pretty good job of cheering me up, too.

When I am too depressed, I pick my guitar to play and sing along. That depression would go within minutes. Other times, I get to play my PS4 soccer game. And that depression would disappear. That's why I really can't go anywhere to stay up to 12 hours without my guitar.
