Has anyone been doing anything to try to help their depression/general state of being in 2016?

Personally, I purchased myself a stationary bike just a few days before Christmas, and I've been riding between 30-40 minutes per day, and have been doing it almost every day so far this year while also trying to maintain a 500 calorie deficit. I've dropped about three pounds so far, and I've noticed that I've been feeling slightly happier.

Anyone else?

That's good, anon. Working out sure does help.

I started running every day and I was feeling better and better. Then my lungs fucked up, and now I'm not allowed to exercise.

I've been trying to get into game design, after five years of dreaming about it.

Not much progress, but I am trying something. Also, since I have to study art styles, musical composition, coding and a bunch of other stuff, it takes my mind off of my depression for a bit.

Tried to get into a routine of working out, but I've never been one to care about my body, so that's kinda tough. And being a ~130 pound skinnyfag doesn't give me any motivation either. Really, I'll do it out of boredom more than anything.

Thanks, man. And that sucks about your lungs. What happened with them?

Oh, and a little update for how far I've ridden: bike odometer says I'm at almost 500 miles now, and I usually ride on medium resistance (options go from 1-8 and I usually ride around 3-5 while adjusting). I'm actually pretty proud of myself. My goal was to ride approximately 1500 miles this year when I began but it looks like I'm going to absolutely demolish that number.

That sounds neat. Are you doing some sort of online course or are you just trying to pick it up? I also sort of want to try to learn to code. I looked up this one site called "Coding Academy" and did a few introductory lessons on Python but I never really pursued it seriously. I find I have a super fucking hard time at concentrating on it.

My lungs have always been weak. I was running one day and I almost coughed up blood, so I cannot stress them anymore for at least a couple of months.

Doc said it's a virus or something, therefore now I'm chugging pills like a junkie.

About the bike, that's great! You can definitely shatter that goal. After you break the 1500 mile goal do another 500 miles for me, will ya?

Tried to be more outgoing and social. Bought a girl something nice still have to give it to her but i'm trying to get over my fear of rejection and such. That's about it.

Good luck anon. I hope it all turns out well.

What did you buy her?

what is she like?

Wait, why did you buy her something? Are you friends? Is the gift something extravagant? Just based on my assumptions, I feel like this has the potential for some Hiroshima-tier cringe.
