In a week or two I'll have a yard full of leaves you can rake. Also have a tree that needs to be cut down and cut into logs. Got a couple cars that need washing before being put into storage for the winter. Could help me with a ton of filing I've been neglecting. Both dogs need a bath. Need to clean up some flower beds before winter hits.

That should keep you occupied for at least a week. : )
Want three miniature donkeys?

How about two puppies and a cat?

Depending on the city you're in, you can take up board gaming. Since you're also from Croatia, I may be able to help you find to the exact local associations that organize gaming nights.

Learn about computer security. Steganography, Cryptography, Reverse Engineering, Forensics etc. It's a deep rabbit hole that never ends :D

Learn music production. Studio One has a free version, or you can go Reaper, which is "free" like WinRAR. It's a great way to pass the time when everything else feels annoying. It's also a rabbit hole.

I could go on and on, but aside from the typical advice, those are my fav activities XD
Do some physical exercise. One or two hours of walking or biking can do a great benefit to your mental health and your mood.

Go to some courses. There are a lot of subsidized ones that can make you grow a nice CV and, in the meantime, meet some new people or get some new skills you could use.

Get a job. Don't try to get a good one, though. We have all started by having hideous, underpaid jobs in supermarkets, factories, etc. At least having some regular income will open many doors in your life. And you might make some new friends among your workmates.

Try to expose your paintings at a local restaurant or club. It might give some exposure to your work and give you a good motivation to continue painting.

Use Tinder or similar. Don't expect to find love but at least you could find someone from around your area who you could spend some time with. If you aren't looking for sex be clear about it and mark your limits.

And cheer up! You'll stumble upon some positive change, sooner or later.

Dude, I'm a CompSci student and I'd rip all my hair out if I even looked at that any more than I need to protect myself.

Reverse engineering is useful if you want to patch up games, though.

I know what you mean XD I recently got my hs diploma and joined a renowned local college in computer security. Been working with computers all my life, albeit a short one XD, as a self-taught computer tech but it's a boring branch of computing... I ended up trying to do too much in that field like automated installer scripts in Powershell for computers that don't require a reinstall through a custom image or wtv (useless!) but I gave up on all of it. Security stuff is where the party's at XD
I echo the suggestions to volunteer. Helping others is a good way to find meaning in your life, and social contact keeps you sane.

You could also try crafting things out of stuff you'd otherwise just throw in recycling. I've found some really awesome stuff recently with suggestions for how to use things like cardboard and yoghurt pots and the like to build models.

If you're not in Zagreb or Split, that's where you could go to continue. You know as well as I do Uni will get you places (unless it's Philosophy or Law)...
Did you try modding some games? Many of them have tools that give huge possibilities. Modding is a different kind of fun than playing games, so you shouldn’t get bored. I recommend especially RPG’s. I’d start with Neverwinter Nights 1 or 2 and then shift to Witcher 2 or something from Bethesda. If you want to start with something easier Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is also a good idea.

BeatriceElysia: Hello,
I have unusual problem. Ever since quitting the university, I got lots of free time. I tried filling my time with reading books and gaming, but I'm fed up with that. I kind of wish to do something and have some stocks to fill my pockets, not much though.
I mostly eat, sleep, game/read all day long.

I don't have
job
friends (I just visit my old aunt from time to time)
pets
hobbies

So any help or suggestion to fill my time would be great.

EDIT: I'm looking for a job, but my situation with mental health and living in small city + lack of xp and ed means I don't have lots of chances landing a job soon.
I would learn an instrument. It's never too late. Acoustic guitar is a fine choice, and typically takes as much of your free time as you're willing to invest. Also, the likelihood of bothering neighbours while playing an acoustic is slim, unless you're banging the crap out of it.

I would also suggest making a throwaway account on reddit and discovering some subreddits (Think sub forums) that match your interests. You can get lost for hours on Reddit. Like I said, make a throwaway account though, some people on there can be really.... peculiar.

You could also make a twitter account and follow your favourite actors and actresses, or sports teams, or game developers. It is social media, but if you don't get involved in the worldwide political convos on there, you should be fine.

I use Twitter and Reddit and both take up at least 2 hours of my free time daily. I also play guitar as needed. Another thing you can do is save some dosh and buy yourself a console like a playstation 4 or a nintendo switch.
