Hi.Voluntarying is a useful way to be social, stay busy, learn new skills, get exercise,etc.I definetly found it useful.What does your voluntarying involve.I do conservation voluntarying outdoors in the Surrey area.Its built my confidence,improved my social skills and I got to spend time working in nature.Good to hear your councelling is helpful.In my case its one of the best decisions I have ever made. It was really hard at first to open up to a stranger,but it got easier over the months.I chose a female therapist delibertley and some of the topics and issues I have discussed with her,I have never spoken about with anyone before.Which rock groups do you like.Some of my favourite rock groups are Muse,Feeder, Nine inch Nails,Paparoach,Guns and Roses,Bush, Foofighters and others. I like bands that combine melody,harmony with heavy guitar and drums.Deep meaningful lyrics are important. Comedy is one of favourite things in books,films and tv.Its hard to be sad if you are smilling.
