Hi. My pdoc supports my volunteering. I go to AA at the women's jail once a week. It would be hard imo to work a suicide helpline because of the emotional exhaustion and great demand. Before AA bi volunteeed at a Literacy place where they wanted me to work many hours. I went manic and one day just walked out; it was embarrassing. I just know for me I needed time limits.
