I could never learn coding by just learning coding. The way I learn coding is by creating something. If you want to learn Java for example, think of a small project that might interest you and then build it. You will learn to use the tool (Java in this case) as you go along. I have observed in myself that I am happier when I have goals. Getting over depression is probably not a goal in itself. I set goals for myself and then work on them. The journey becomes more enjoyable than achieving goals. To give you an example, last year I had two goals, to run half marathon and trek to Mt Everest base camp. Took me over 6 months of preparation. I probably spent 2-3 hours everyday thinking, scheming, working out etc. I achieved both of those, but I enjoyed the obsession more.
