You can always try setting up a fish tank (at least 10 gallons). Those things require enough care to be considered a hobby, especially if you want to include live vegetation. Sourdough bread baking is another option. You literally have to "feed" your sourdough starter regularly to keep it functioning and ready for bread making. And who doesn't like fresh bread? Assuming you don't have a gluten allergy of course š There's always gardening as well, even if it's a tiny windowsill garden.
It might be kinda stupid but find a rock and make it ur pet! You can make it a house out of cardboards and maybe even dress the rock up!
i get REALLY easy arts and crafts projects. like paint by number or puzzles. Its auto pilot and time-consuming.
Crocheting is my hobby! Try it out itās difficult at first but once you get the hang of it itās repetitive and relaxing! And you get to make cool things like beanies and blankets
I grew some herbs in an indoor garden last winter. I liked being able to smell them and use them.
One of my hobbies is carving. With carving, you get to choose what you want to make and then you just work for hours trying to get the layout. Itās hard work tbh but it helps you stay busy and you can paint it after if you want. It can take hours to days to weeks sometimes (depending on what youāre making and how big it is) and you can buy the tools at your nearest crafts store and you can find a big branch anywhere too or just buy wood.
For years Iāve been struggling with trying to put together a routine for myself. I always end up filling my time with things that pertain to others. I see my friends all day, I like to see my boyfriend a lot (even though itās only a weekend to weekend thing), and Iāll scroll social media. When I go on social media I tend to look at people who is no longer in my life. With this, Iāve come to a realization recently that Iāve put others over my own needs. I barely take my meds regularly because I feel like Iām constantly busy at peoples events, hanging out, or work. I donāt want kids but Iāve grown up in a family the idolizes the nuclear lifestyle despite not having it, and my boyfriend wants kids, so I feel like Iāve put myself in a position to lose my idea of what I want. Sometimes I donāt even know if I want to be with a man. I feel sometimes that people will leave me if I just do what will work for me. I could put down my drink and I think of how it will affect others, not myself. Iāve always wanted to travel and get out but I know my boyfriend wants to stay with his family so I put it on the back burner. Iāve started to get anxious about me losing out on my life and what I want to do. It makes me think Iāve always lost out on so many opportunities. I want to try to start small. Making sure I have a good routine for myself that I wonāt break and then try to apply that discipline to the rest of my life. Iām just not sure how.
TW: suicidal Constantly fixated on the fact of helping people. Iām always doing compulsions like checking social medias to see if people need help etc, itās exhausting cause Iām so sad Iām unable to help everyone. I just donāt know what to do and if Iām being entirely honest itās making me not wanna be here anymore. Iām afraid that if i walk away from my phone for even 5 minutes someone will be in need and in danger and I want be there to help therefore itās my fault etc. how can i cope with this? Obviously I want to help people but I wanna do it in different ways
Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing ādonāt be mean to mom next timeā but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that couldāve been contaminated and now Iām writing ānext time donāt touch this and thisā. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and Iām writing ādonāt forget to do this and thisā even though Iāve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that Iāll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. Iām sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but thatās too hard for me
