I just had an (positive) interview for a volunteer position. Gosh I was sick about it but I held on and took the plunge. But it wasn't long into the interview however that I found myself able to somwhat relax (I became conscious of my breathing and the feel of the fabric of my coat both of which were soothing). In the end I was offered several positions - including an occasional paid shift in their catering department. Wow.

I was amazed at myself for managing the fear and using some of the coping mechanisms I've learnt to doing so.
