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.
I’d recommend an in-person game of Pathfinder or DnD. The great thing about the game for me is getting rid of the electronics for a while and trying to be as creative as possible. If you can think it up, and convince the DM, you can do it be anything you want. Be as creative as you want. Come up with a character and their backstory and have fun.
Once you’ve played for a bit and have a good handle on things trying DMing. I was more afraid than I should have been and found that it is a ton of fun. Between getting to come up with and run the games I like to add my own twists and turns, bring things from previous sessions in as a surprise and most of all I love to see the creativity from the players and seeing how they
fuck up all my carefully laid planscome up with amazing ideas and surprise me.It can be an amazing outlet and a place to make some new friends. If you find a group that doesn’t work with you don’t be afraid to find a different one though, and remember that it’s meant to be fun.

Full honesty though as someone who was going through something/depression/purposelessness back in 2012 and found the world of DnD, Magic the Gathering and Tabletop games it can be dangerous to get into a hobby like DnD because you may end up liking that life over your actual one. Took me 4 years to get out and do something because everyone within that community also had lives they didn’t want to get back to and kept enabling each other.
i love dnd and such games but i find it hard to find a group, any advice for finding a group by chance?
do i need to make flyers? is there a good place to post online or said flyers at?
@QuietStorm Facebook is your best friend (only in this situation). Just search for Dungeons and Dragons/RPG + the area or city you live in. You could also search for Local Game Stores or Magic the Gathering stores near you as both MTG and DnD are owned by the same company and usually supported together.
A lot of local game stores host games now as well. Go in and if you see a bunch of tables, ask one of the staff. They love talking about that stuff.
