Answer 3

Start doing things for other people.  You used to like baking - bake something for someone who is hurting or who is lonely, etc.  Go visit someone at a nursing home or read a book to them.  Volunteer at a local hospital.  Go back to church or start attending a solid, Bible believing church.  If the church people tell you the depression is your fault, find another one.  Depression is real.  You also should talk with your parents or a trusted adult to help you with this.  If it is clinical depression, you should have your parents find a good psychiatrist who can help you find medication to ease these feelings.  Finding a solid, professional counselor can also help.  Counselors often have ways of helping us see things from a different perspective and to find solutions that we were at first blinded to.  Hope some of this helps.

Answer 7

You need a break from things. Like take a vacation away from home. Go swimming, walking, enjoying nature.

Even if you cannot go on a vacation, you can take weekends into nature. Commute with nature. Sit under trees. Walk barefoot on grass and sand. things like that.

You may just take a mat and lie down and stare at the sky or stars at night. Anything out in fresh air.

As for a Hobby, try dancing. Any type. Dancing is good for  emotional catharsis.

It will help.
