> things arent going well. had to srop out of school this semester. I'm alone.
>Hi Jerry,
I'm sorry to hear that you're not doing well. I understand if you're feeling all alone, but is there some activity you think you could manage so that you can have some routine to your life, and be around people?Here's what I can force myself to do, even on my worst days. Get dressed. Pack laptop or book or magazine. Ride bus to the bookstore, the cafe, or the library. (or walk, depending on my energy). Sit and read. sip coffee or tea. listen in on others' conversations, play on p-babble if I can get wireless internet. Come home. Feel somewhat more like a member of society.
Even if you're not enrolled in school, perhaps there are some clubs or organized activities around campus that might catch your interest?Some guest lectures or talks you might wish to attend?
Concerts? Lots of free concerts around universities.
You could participate as a volunteer for a political candidate?
You could help with carpentry and painting for a drama production (or to build homes for a charity organization, like habitat for humanity)
This is all pretty ambitious. I'm getting a little ahead of myself right now.
Here's some generic warm support for you (((((((((Jerry))))))))) safe cyber hugs, and I hope you feel better asap.
Remember that even on the crappiest days, you can still find one or two beautiful things. You just have to look for them. Keep your eyes, ears, and heart open. Let me know what you find today that is beautiful.
