What is the good life? What makes you happy?

Rev. Dr. Glen asked:


At age 50 I lack the zip I once had. Living morally, and simply has it advantages. Prozac has knocked my libido out, but it manages my depression, and at 50 I rather like not being pulled by my libido–it used to be a pain. No AIDs worry.

I do have a prison and nursing home ministry to help keep me going some. I am also involved with a tiny nondenonimnational church, but there is no pay and a limited work.

I genuinely feel church work is worthwhile, but its not like when I dreamed of being a professional historian. That goal is gone I am underqualified. The field is flooded, I have too many gaps in my resume, and not enough publications. I am in a Bible study distance learning seminary, but it is going slow

Having chronic anxiety, depression, and panic attacks with little, almost no full time work experience, would disability be a possibility? Any thoughts appreciated.
