You can read or do some writing, work for a while in an outdoor or indoor garden, try some recipe, go for a picnic, join interesting hilarious group in the internet. Do photography, do something that makes you happy, make new friends, etc. Your main goal should be to avoid turning back and looking forward to make friends with people (small or big / male or female) who don t have a family, talk to them. Help them feel good. If church activity work is not going well, reach out to people who need love, there are many such. Be sincere and help them.

You should learn to love yourself, do away with anything that triggers negative feelings of discomfort, depression, anxiety or panic. Just stay relaxed and comfortable. You will feel better. Keep your body and mind healthy, stay cheerful and active. If you need medicines prescribed to you, you can take but do not get dependent on it. Do not run away from people, make friends with them, listen to music, sing and dance. Its good to work, never stop working. You should take breaks between works to relax and sit for some time chewing a candy or take some snacks.
