I'm not quite up to seeing movies yet (I haven't seen a movie without my wife or one of the kids for over 10 years). But I got together with my sister, and we've been working up a folk/acoustic music act and we've been performing in public. I haven't done that in over 6 years, and I can tell you that the practicing and performing have helped keep me sane.
It really is a wonder to go out and GAL (get a life). It doesn't really make all my pain go away, but it helps me cope with it. Eventually, I'll work up to seeing movies and going to parties on my own.
