What is a good hobby for a depressed person?
So i still have depression and im constantly bored, i feel like a loser who cant do anything right. I want to let my creativeness out, make something i can share with the world or family, but im probably dreaming too big. I cant stand being depressed and bored, it stinks, everyone tells me to work out but i lack the motivation to do so.
i usually just watch youtube all day while complaining to family members that have no idea what to do about me.

Try martial arts.
Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy.
I say martial arts because it sounds like you're having trouble being self-directed and finding motivation. I also have trouble being self-directed. I don't go to the gym because I get there and I'm overwhelmed by the options and don't know how to use the machines and get really self-conscious about everything. I don't like outside sports because I live where it's hot. Martial arts classes are set up to teach you in structured lessons, with instructors to plan what you're gonna do and keep you motivated.
Plus, you get to hit stuff.
Just going to echo the downright critical importance of physical activity. I know you said you want to do something creative that you can share, @QuietStorm, but you'll just be spinning your wheels if your mind and body (sorry for the woo talk) aren't in a good place for being creative.
Even just one hour of creative work, where you're firing on all cylinders, can be really rewarding. But it can take a lot of work beforehand to get that one good hour.
Good luck!
PS What kind of creative stuff are you interested in?
