I want to be proud of something.

I need some projects or inexpensive hobbies that I can improve on and feel accomplished about. I'm 20 years old and have a full time job that makes it very hard to cope with what I currently have going on. I enjoy hands on things like construction and computers. I'm finding it really hard to feel like I'm worth something so if I find things I can work on or create, I might feel something.

Hello Muddypuddles22,

Welcome to the forums..I’m so sorry it’s taken a while for you to get an answer...

Finding project or hobbies is a good way to distract ourselves from everyday life....I think it really depends on what your likes are...in finding a project or hobby..

Maybe google your interests and maybe you could find a club that meets weekends to talk about and create things of interest..

Do you have any ideas at all what you would like to create?

I don’t know that much about hobbies etc..and I’m sorry I can’t really give you any good suggestions...

My post will bump your thread to the front page..Where it’s more visible for others to see..

Grandy..

I'm not sure where you are, and I'm just having a stab in the dark as to some kind of hobby for you, but in SA there's a group called the Men's Shed. (I apologise if you're female, I am definitely stereotyping here). They do a lot of repairs, televisions, DVD players and 'computers' for children in need.
Would something like that suit?
It's really difficult finding a distraction. Well done for even looking outside the box.
