Volunteer. Always had good experiences with it and made some nice memories and connections I would not have otherwise.
This is on my list! I do think that in my current environment I mostly hear what I have done wrong, and helping others would probably give a better outcome.

Finding a label for personal problems typically results in a honeymoon of self-acceptance and relief. The honeymoon usually ends and the problems remain, but now there are possible paths forward.
