Thanks for your support. I agree volunteering can be something to do to meet with people but when I talk about being part of someone else´s life I mean something else.

I understand volunteering can lead to something bigger in the long run but I feel very low, sad and lonely and I just need someone to be there for me and listen, as the therapists and counselors did.

I struggled with a sense of not really belonging anywhere for quite a bit of my life.

When I started volunteering with the organisation I now work for, something shifted.

I think feeling valued is a significant part of belonging, and that's what I get from my little job.

Take care,
