The downside of being a "progressive" is you end up beliveing their propaganda. This tends to keep the SSRI manufacturers and suicide hotlines in business.

Divorce is insanely stressful, and if you lost a fiancee after that, that's quite enough to push you into full-tilt clinical depression. Trying to find companionship (after losing partner[s]) in social circles filled with people looking for (or trying to avoid) their first lifepartner will certainy reenforce the feeling of being old before your time.

Listening to shortwave broadcast isn't the most uplifting thing on the planet either...speaking of propaganda. Have you considered an amateur radio licence? Not that it's really a good way to meet chicks, but at least you could use the HF bands without every third station being HCJB. :-)
