I'm 20 years old, in my first year at community college, and currently aspire to become a nurse. My grades are great despite dropping out of highschool in my first year and getting my GED, I'm currently unemployed, but looking for a part time job, and I have lost over 100 pounds over the last few years. (300 to 190ish) So whats not going great, right?
Until enrolling in school last semester I pretty much exclusively played video games as my hobby/past time. Because of this 99% of my social circle was who I was involved with online through WoW. I even met a woman through a group of friends in a previous WoW guild and quickly developed feelings for her. We "dated" online/long distance for about a year and a half before breaking up in November. Between the mix of already losing interest in video games and then breaking up with the person I spent the majority of my online time with, I've lost almost completely all interest in them.
I've picked up skateboarding as a new hobby recently which has been the most enjoyable thing I've done in years, but when it gets dark or the weather is bad I am once again stuck in my room. I find myself eating way more than I should be (Trying not to regain what i lost), and going to sleep extremely early at night. Because of how early I end up going to bed, I also end up sleeping for absurd amounts of time to fill more time before I can head off to school and work on homework in the library or one of the tutoring rooms.
I don't miss video games or my ex throughout the day. I very much enjoy going to class, interacting/socializing with people from school, and doing more things outside, but I'm still feeling this extreme drowsy feeling when I'm at home. I try to spend as little time at home as possible because of how depressing it feels. I wake up and go to school 2-3 hours before I have classes just to be away from the computer.
What can I do to fill my time while I'm stuck at home to potentially relieve the feeling of depression?
there is many things you can do. I also have depression. I read books also listen to Pandora. music helps a lot with my depression. if it gets so bad i Write it Down bout how I feel an it also helps. also look up on the internet an see if there is anything on there that can help you also.

Anon, I know how you feel. You're not getting any enjoyment from anything anymore, and you're looking for something new to do. Try learning how to play an instrument, or get into a hobby, like martial arts or firearms or coding. There's lots of things you can do.
