I don't have any hobbies on the go at the minute and can't find anything that's peeking my ADHD fixation. I feel totally lost and like a don't have a direction or purpose in life right now. I feel like I'm spiralling and I don't know how to get out of my funk. Any and all advice welcome ❤️

this is one of my favorite pieces i’ve made even tho it’s not one of my more beautiful ones, i went through the last weeks of my freshman year in pieces and i worked on this in every class religiously
For me helps looking back for what I have liked before, even as a child and then you can take that thing and charge it up a bit because you are an adult now. 😁 For example I wanted to become Egyptologyst when I was a kid and now I might have some Egypt archeology binge watch. Or I enjoyed painting and now I can get a nice watercolor paper, paint and have a patience to slowly paint something pretty. Or I loved doing crafts with fabric so now I make a dog toy from an old tshirt. It's always fun to browse Pinterest to see what sparks your interest! 🤗 Sometimes a good walk or meditation is a way to find something or those activities themselves can be a hobby. Just being present and noticing the environment. Or you can learn something new that you have wondered about for a long time - a new language (I started to learn Japanese 75 days ago on Duolingo), dance, calligraphy.. Softly and curiosily go inwards! Only you know the answer! ✨🫶
i’d pick up anything artistic, i get in such long periods with no hobbies but i always come back to art, even if it doesn’t look pretty every time it’s such a great emotional outlet and because of that i find myself compulsively working for hours on end to try and make each detail convey exactly what emotion i want
