Hobbies are hard to get into when you are depressed but if you do have a passion for something why not start it....you may find that each day/week you become a little more interested and all at once you are totally absorbed. It worked for me. I started sketching/painting a year ago for the first time at age 67 and now I draw nearly every day for a couple or three hours. It gets me out of my head...and hurray for that!!...plus it aint too bad if I do say so myself!!
