Sorry, this thread is so long I don't really have the time to go through it in entirety.

To develop a hobby I think that it is as simple as finding something you love to do or learn about, or something you always wished that you could do.

However, I find that having mentall illness, depression at least, makes it very difficult to find thing interesting or enjoyable. When I stop feeling depressed the things I love are fun again, but depression makes me feel like nothing I do anymore is enjoyable.
