It was stressful too, at times. Some successes and some not-so-successes.
I cried with regard to volunteering too lol. Twice (once before sort of important-ish people from two other NGOs). We sort of clarified things later, but I wouldn't dare work for them!
Another consideration would be my diagnosis, whether and when to tell etc. The NGO people don't know, not sure if it would be wise to tell or not...
