I have a hobby that I really enjoy but the problem is that when I get depressed I loose interest in it, but i loose interest in everything.

i get the same way too wen i let myself get too depressed...all i wanna do ijs sleep or hurt my self

Zumba! It's really feel good so when i'm down in the dumps it help's relief that and i end up a little cheerier.

When I'm unstable, it's a hit and miss as to what works. Sometimes what worked in the past doesn't work anymore. Usually walking by the beach helps me. But when I'm too anxiety driven and depressed, I have a hard time getting myself to physically do anything. That's the powerlessness I hate.

I have lots of hobbies so I can use the one that works best in the time............I love to watercolor, sketch, photography, quilting, fishing, jewelry making, scrapbooking my kids pics, and my new hobby....altered books. I wont usually "let" myself sit and do nothing or I will just spiral........

Beautiful pics............sunrise and sunset shots are my favorites and I can see both from my back deck.....

I love to crochet, I have many baby blankets on consignment in the area. However with my shoulder messed up I can't do it. BTW I did get a date for the MRI on my shoulder Sept 3 at 3pm :)

Photography. reading, would not mind some links sent to me regarding how to make your own jewelry I'd love to do that. :) I digital scrapbook as well. I do shadow boxes when I find them on sale I pick them up if I can afford to. I help moderate a couple of boards so that keeps me busy as well. I love water aerobics when I can go. Right now my knee hurts like a ___ __ _ _____ and I am on some pain meds until I can see the surgeon on the first. I can't live on pain meds the rest of my life nor can I ignore water aerobics which I love.
So here is my list

Oh and reading my 12 step literature it's not a hobby per se but it is something I try to do every day.

Sewing makes me really happy.

Making something that I can use, my son can use, my baby on the way can use.

I love making things.
I have no real skill, its usually by fluke, but I really enjoy it!

:) I love sewing.

Most calming hobby is loom knitting. FUN!!!

Beading/jewelry. Right now am beading crystal prisms to hang in window. EXCITING!!

Video games on Android and Wii. Dance games will make you pleasantly tired.

Remember those potholder looms we did as children?? LOVE EM!! The bright colors make me happy.

Making homemade yogurt. Good for you, too.

Origami, coloring books, and play-doe are mindless calmers. Yes, I play with play-doe - it soothes my wounded nerves.

Right now, I have 12 cans of the brightest brights in spray paint. I'm going to paint all my baskets. (Dozens of them.)

Hobbies usually involve money. If I had money I would have lots of hobbies, but I have no money so I have no hobbies other than playing online, watching tv and reading library books. All free entertainment.

I'm with Christopher22. I get into hobbies but lose interest with mood shifts. I love to crochet, but it's just been far too hot for me to have yarn draped across my lap. I AM an avid reader though.

painting, reading, strumming the guitar - but i lose all of these when i get manic.

Writing songs and scrapbooking work best for me :)
