For ex., you can go biking, or jogging while listening to your mp3... Or you can see an orphanage in the area & play with the children there, 'cause children are the most beautiful thing in this world that brings joy & beauty to one's soul 
But it's very good that you're staying with a friend, & you both support each other  It's very rare in this world to find a good & helpful friend on which you can lean your shoulder for support & affection...

I actually do go outside. I take a walk. I talk to people i see sometimes. The year i have been here, i have reached out. You do not know how hard i have reached out. I have gone to church because it is nearby. The group was nice but their beliefs were not with mine. It was good learning experience. I looked for one that is close to what i believe but it is far.
I can't bike as i don't have a bike as i have mentioned i have lost a lot. I thought about getting one but really but didn't go further as there are other factors.
I have asked around to volunteer. I was rejected by one and i asked people i got to know about walking distance and they did not know.
I have to accept i am closed up so i do best with what i have. I know being closed in cause depression. Hell! It is one thing i know about myself. When i had my dog i used to walk for hours. I used to run. But i know what situation i am in now. I have tried so now i am accepting and moving towards others ways, i am doing my best to solve my problem. One answer is to move. Right now, i am not strong enough to handle that. I just started feeling better.
