i have no idea what "volunteer" entails, though its not a horribly bad idea, but i can tell you this...

perhaps im not 48, im only 30... but i had felt that i wasted all of my youth in needless writhing mental agony... i had a youth, i had social functions, girlfriends, and the like... it was nothing close to normal... but there was human connection... but when you go through your entire life and look at yourself with utter hatred, you might as well be dead...

Even when things were going 'okay', i still was depressed, even if they said they did, how could anyone ever love me? I had no idea... One day it all broke, and for 7 or so years I languished in drug abuse and cheap friends, throwaway people, and sporadic and transient cheap relationships...

One day I met a friend who gave me the inspiration to start pulling myself up from the gutter... yet it was still 3 years until i got to where i am now... getting help, that is finally changing my life for the better...

whatever happens when we die, you still have -now- go visit a museum, walk through a cornfield, watch a sunset on the beach, go to another country, read finnigans wake by james joyce just to say you did it... get loaded (unless you used to be an alcoholic, scratch that last one...:), meet people... there are a lot of people much older than you who are showing no signs of giving up now... my father, whos probably 10 years older than you, (who i think coincidentally suffered from some form of untreated depression for a good while) just re-married, and is now i think, finally happy... But **age has nothing to do w/ it**

sure there is a lot of ugliness in this world, but it has -no- power over you... only you have that power, and you should put it to good use while you have the cognitive ability to do so...

just my 2cents..........
