Volunteering is good, I've volunteered at the public library, the no kill animal shelter , NAMI, PAMI, battered woman shelters. Various places back in the twin cities, like booths at the fair, booths at the international festival, music festivals in exchange for tickets to get in, on SSDI my money is limited so by volunteering I give time and get to do fun stuff for free. If your in a low grade manic type state this also burns off energy.
