There are a ton of non-profits that appreciate help from anyone.

On another note, I was depressed and isolated a couple years ago after a breakup, living alone in a city on the other side of the country from my family and friends. Ultimately what got me out of my rut was regular exercise at the gym and reading Feeling Good by David Burns.

I can't recommend that book enough. Much of the philosophy behind it is rooted in Greek Stoicism, so if you just wanna cut to that maybe take a look at Marcus Aurelius or William Irvine's Guide to the Good Life.

What's important though is to not spend your energy trying to meet some invisible metric of "being useful", and instead be able to recognize the cognitive distortions that are causing you to be depressed.
