I volunteered at lifeline for a short while here. Got the training. Got the certification. Was finally ready to man the phones solo.

I wish I could say it worked out for me but I got triggered (by relationship stuff) and had to quit shortly after (admittedly this was during a phase of medication madness - I was a walking disaster on ziprasidone but I digress)

My point is, know your strengths and weaknesses (in hindsight I didn't do this part at all - I was quite gung-ho about it �� and didn't think too hard about my motivation other than 'im doing this to save the world' or something like that)

Truly assess what you want to get out of it. Build on your strengths, protect your weaknesses (hey, you may be able to overcome them but to be realistic it's good to have a plan B).

I think after all that all we can do is accept whether it was meant to be or not.

Hope that helps ☺️
