Hello. I've started to volunteer at a soup kitchen and it feels good. You keep busy, you meet people (in particular the other volunteers), you're being useful, and you see (it sounds a bit selfish but it's the simple truth) that there are many people who have it lots worse than you: the people who come to eat. I'm pretty sure there's a soup kitchen close to where you live. And since they are typically open 365 d per year, they always need volunteers.
What I also do is taking an advanced 1st-aid / CPR course. You meet people and it's a very useful skill to have, and makes you more confident in daily life.
Good luck

I spoke with someone today about getting services. And he seemed really impressed that I have BA degree in psychology. For some reason looking back on it, I feel sad about that, like, I really AM wasting my life. I do nothing all day. Day in and day out. Though people have said I have a lot of promise, nothing really ever seems to come of it.
I am in therapy. And glad I'm going tomorrow.
