For those who didn't immediately leave (like you probably should), I've found myself becoming disheartened frequently over the past few months.
Just now I decided to check out Arby n Chief for the first time and although it was hysterical, the ending prompted me to write this.
Playing vidoegames, sketching, watching youtube, and even doing nothing make me depressed now even though they've been my favorite hobbies.
It also doesn't help that my Grandpa and Monty Oum (one of my inspirations) both died on the same day a few weeks ago.
Part of me thinks I'm just stuck and that I'll never move forward...
Then the other part tells me that that's bullshit and that I should get a move on.
Is there any advice to move out of this limbo?
Edit: thank you to everyone who bothered to reply, It really helps to know that not everyone on b.net is intellectually deficient.
As a side note, I'm not "depressed" as in the chemical disorder, I've just been in a low rut lately and am feeling down.
Edit #2 (man I'm just full of these): One of my recurring sources of disheartening media is the web show known as Zero Punctuation.
This show has, singlehandedly, made me begin to hate videogames.
It has turned one of my favorite hobbies into something that nags at the back of my mind like an angry stepmother.
I try to avoid this by not watching any if his videos but of find myself being drawn back to them like some twisted form of stockholm syndrome combined with waterboarding.

Exercise is actually amazing to help get rid of depression. What it will do is release endorphins in your body and give you a psychological sense of accomplishment for doing it. And it's not just the simple exercise, but your self betterment as a whole. When you're stuck in a rut you go out and do new things. Adrenaline Is one of the best ways to get your mind off things. Anecdote incoming: I used to be a fat depressed little bastard in high school. About my junior year I started heavily working out with the intention of joining the Marine Corps. 6 years later and I'm no longer depressed on a daily basis. Sure, I'll get sad every once in a while, but I went from being clinically diagnosed with depression to occasionally saying "meh". What you need to understand is that there are people on this forum who were like you and have overcome it, or still are but have found great tips and tricks to stave it off. You aren't alone in that, and if you do come here asking for advice, at least try it out rather than doing the same old things that don't work.
