Anon may have depression

I’ll sound like an old man but…Go outside!

Steam and YouTube are good sources of entertainment but use them in moderation. Because they’re fleeting and ultimately unfulfilling. There are hundreds of other ways to spend your time.

This isn't meant to be a criticism of your post, but as someone who fades in and out of this situation I want to say: "go outside" is not overly helpful advice for people in this situation. I've tried going outside but without a goal to fulfill or any idea of how "normal people" have fun, it's a struggle to make it feel any less empty than being at home. Obviously it's not your job to write a book-length guide on how to live a fulfilling life though, so carry on.
- Right? "Go outside!" AND THEN DO WHAT, MOTHERFUCKER? Just be depressed outside??
- I've learned to at very least I can go outside and just be in the sunlight for a while every day. For me personally it often involves messing around in my garden for a few minutes or going for a walk. If you aren't able to do that mentally or physically then just sit outside on your porch or something and just be there observing the world. None of this stuff is a cure all but this is such a minimal thing that anyone can do and for some reason I feel a little bit better that day.

- Not that all places are nice here but US suburbia does look depressing
- Can't fault the graphics though.
Create something. If you like games, learn to program and create them. Start with something small and easy like a basic platformer in Game Maker Studio. When you only consume and create nothing, you actually create depression.
- But that's the problem. You can't. You physically don't have enough energy and motivation to do anything. Everything is boring and when you force yourself to do something, it's shit. The problem is that you can't enjoy anything and just feel shit and bored all the time.
- Lol, dude's not able to find the strength to play, you tell him to learn to program
- Easier said than done, or "My goodness, what an idea! Why didn't I think of that? Just create something."
  
  Particularly with learning curve (and needing to assess things) while lacking creativity(/ideas), motivation, energy, good status etc.
  
  That, and it's easy for things beyond your control to change things. Destroying your interest in said creating (even if you've made something complete), turn it into lurking (waiting for someone else to make certain changes), or requiring finding a different avenue for creation.
It's nighttime in the post so he can't go outside.

Huh. Maybe I have depression.

Might also be undiagnosed ADD/ADHD, which in general is a lot easier to treat than pure depression.

- Untreated ADHD can come with depression in the long run, and it'll be harder to treat, because instead of one issue, you have two issues.
- SzPD (Schizoid Personality Disorder) also has some overlap with both of those.
Possibly. Is it manageable or do you need someone to talk to?
- It depends on your struggles. In my case, medication is not enough to deal with executive dysfunction, and that's why I'm waiting for therapy.

then be exhausted at 7pm

Fall asleep at 4am

Productive day

Only idiots open chrome and write "google.com" in the address bar

I’ve done this except I wasn’t on a computer I was making a sandwich, and instead of spending 3 hours I spent 5 minutes. And instead of being sad I was happy cause I was eating a sandwich. Life is like that sometimes

so bread with stuff is the key to being happy
- I can say with 100 percent conviction that it is. Try a bread burger roll, whether you’re on death row or have recently lost a loved one, it will make you feel like you’ve won the lottery or pushed an old lady down a flight of stairs.

That's me every day!

It be like that sometimes

Maybe add https://itch.io to the list (has an good program and mitch as an unofficial phone app)

Can relate.

Too much YouTube does that to me too
