    I do have some hobbies, like scrolling through Lemmy, playing Roblox, and talking to friends, if those are hobbies.

    I really do need to lift. I used to love lifting.

    Did you graduate high school or university/college?

    I know you're not looking for advice or anything, but I do think you should find something to dedicate yourself to. It could be a marketable skill or just learning to build something. Lifting and writing code is a great way to spend a day. Or maybe gardening or woodworking, electronics, rock climbing, I don't know lol. Something to nerd-out about, not just something to pass the time. Your system wants you to pursue something more seriously.

    Do it then. The depression will make it hell at first, but force yourself to even just do 5 minutes. Reconnecting with things you used to enjoy but (I'm assuming) fell out with due to the depression will help immensely.

    Do you have a therapist or psychiatrist? Nailing down potential root causes could help as well, once you have the energy and motivation to get to work on it. You got this!
