I can't even answer my own question, but I wonder about you guys?

I wish I had an answer for you. I am stuck in the same rut. My pdoc thinks I should go volunteer somewhere, but it's the doing of things that gets in my way. I am scared to change things. Staying home is easy. Going outside is hard.
