I've fallen back into the trap of spending an unhealthy amount of time on my phone. This evening, even though I have laundry to put away and need to figure out how to use the protection plan I bought to get refunded for my concert tickets, I spent hours on my phone instead of doing either of these things. I was thinking I'd be okay with counseling once a month, and am really enjoying going only once a month, but I might need to consider every two weeks for a bit longer since I jumped pretty quickly from weekly to monthly.

One positive thing I found the courage to do is start the application process to volunteer at a nearby hospital. It's quite the process, and a bit of a commitment. They ask that you can volunteer at least one 4 hour shift/week for at least 6 months. This makes me nervous because of my POTs, but I have to stop letting fear of symptoms (mental health and physical health) stop me from living my life. I am only available on weekends (because of work) so it might not work out anyways.
