so i've recently started doing volunteer work at a drop-in centre and today was the first full day i've managed. i was on reception which means answering phones as well as walk-in visitors. just answering a phone sends my anxiety levels through the roof and i've always been shy with strangers but i done it. also although i was a nervous wreck until lunch time, it genuinely didn't show. it tired me out big time but it feels nice to have accomplished something.

for all
