Volunteering is a good idea. I've been thinking about maybe going to church, that would be a commitment to get me out.
I am good at avoiding things to do too. I have a blanket I am crocheting but I just don't feel into it. I don't know what I want to draw or see a reason to start so I don't. I was on Citalopram before, it worked well for 2 years and then just stopped. I am taking Zoloft and Wellbutrin now and the occasional Clonazapam or Zanax depending on the situation.
