So i still have depression and im constantly bored, i feel like a loser who cant do anything right. I want to let my creativeness out, make something i can share with the world or family, but im probably dreaming too big. I cant stand being depressed and bored, it stinks, everyone tells me to work out but i lack the motivation to do so.

i usually just watch youtube all day while complaining to family members that have no idea what to do about me.

ive have been wanting to make games but im not sure what language or engine to learn, also it seems very daunting.

    Hehe. Just start with something that a lot of other people also begin with. Like Python. And get a nice book that takes you along the journey.

    If you want to make games, there are lots of free engines out there. Like Godot for example. But I don't know if this is a good choice for a beginner.

    Just try some. See what you like and what feels good. Watch some YouTube tutorials and find out what other people use to get an overview. Maybe have a look at free software / open source projects.
