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.

There are so many activities which can help someone who's depressed manage it better. Listening to music is very helpful. Also, playing video games helps too if the person enjoys gaming.
