Feeling so down

Being away from normal routines like going to work is bringing a lot of people down. This quarantine is very hard, especially for people who suffer with bouts of depression. Perhaps there is a hobby or project you can start to give you something to pour yourself into until the sadness lifts.
 
Can you donate some time to an animal shelter or food pantry? A lot of senior citizen organizations and houses of worship are assembling boxes of food & supplies for shut-ins and the poor. Some places are preparing masks & hand sanitizer packages. Some animal shelters need volunteers to walk dogs or foster animals until homes can be found. We all need to have something to look forward to doing, a reason to get up every day. Looks like you need something to motivate you and help bust up the loneliness.
