Typos are something I've sworn up & down to stop making.
I've also told myself to stop smoking.
So I stop making spelling mistakes every three days, and I give up tobacco once a month. ( :
Those things are appropriate for younger high school kids, though. Not so much for adults. I do think you’d probably feel better if you took up a real hobby, like maybe learn a musical instrument?
And yet it was video games, movies and Japanese cartoons that kept me from killing myself when I was in high school, since everything else in my life sucked back then.
Given that most of the anime I watch today is seinen, I do not think I am too old to be watching it.
@Markness
She didn't say learning a musical instrument would "automatically translate to social success."
What she said was:

There actually is a family history of hyperthyroid in my bloodline, I will bring that up to the doctor on Tuesday morning.Just checking in with you Len. I know you are still feeling rough. Do you have a strategy to get you out of bed every few hours? Can someone call or stop by for motivation?
You might consider an aplointment wjth your g.p. for some blood work too. There are a number of physical ailments that masquerade as depression such as infections, low testoterone and hypothyroid to name a few. Get these things ruled out!
Having thyroid problems can be personality altering. And changes in your thyroid hormone levels can happen when you change your food/drug behaviour. Last year after I stopped smoking for the first time I started again after 3 months and then stopped again after 2 months and it ruined my hormone levels (I had Basedow when I was younger, now I have no thyroid left and take hormones every day, which works pretty fine most of the time). This resulted in some kind of panic attacks, not being able to sleep more than 4-5 hours ( I usually need 7-9 hours) in restlessness and in diarrhea and other stuff because I needed less hormones now. But yeah, if you would have an underactive thyroid your symptoms would be different. If you tell your doc that this runs in your family he would probably test your blood levels for that.There actually is a family history of hyperthyroid in my bloodline, I will bring that up to the doctor on Tuesday morning.
Wrong. You are overly generalizing. The character in my very avatar is from a series (Made in Abyss) that is NOT kid friendly at all. It would scar children and more sensitive teens if they read or watched the manga or the anime. Children in it are often put in harm’s way or even killed. The ratings for both even state both are for older audiences.
I suggest you also look up series like Ah! My Goddess!, Berserk, Ghost in The Shell, Battle Angel Alita, and Eden It’s An Endless World!. Those are definitely not for kiddies but not necessarily for the violence in them besides Ah! My Goddess!. They deal with adult themes younger children would have trouble relating to and the technical lingo for the science-fiction grounded ones would make reading them difficult.
I believe you are over generalizing.
By the way, I took multiple guitar lessons and got straight up bullied for it. Even my father who played the guitar himself bullied me for it.
Here is an update. I have to reschedule the doctor appointment and pay a late cancellation fee because my boss broke a bone in her back and she needs me to cover the office for the time being since another important worker is on vacation out of state currently.
