What are good hobbies/distractions to keep myself afloat? Thanks to my current situation, I mostly have to stay at home. I had four deaths in the family all in the same year and have been dealing with a lot. I'm doing what I can to stop things from getting worse (trying to avoid unhealthy coping mechanisms), but I get stuck in my own head a lot and need new ideas. I used to be into creative writing but find it draining nowadays (not abandoning it but just need to step back). I'm a big fan of movies and they've helped me a lot, but it's getting harder to find stuff I haven't watched yet that I'll enjoy. Used to be into video games but I've found that they're really addictive for me. My days drag and blend together which doesn't help with my depression. I rarely know what day of the month/week it is, but I don't have any "outside factors" to connect me to the world (don't have local friends or a job that requires leaving the house). And I'm a caregiver for a family member who needs constant supervision at home.
