I want to volunteer at my local hospital and animal shelter but I can't pick up the phone or send an email to inquire about either. I'm too nervous. I don't know what to say or why I'd even do it. I have the contact information and pamphlets sitting right in front of me. Have for several days now. But I still can't bring myself to pick up the phone or send an email. I don't know what to say or where to start. The more I think about it the dumber the idea sounds. I can barely help myself, what help would I be to others?

Even these simple tasks bring on tremendous anxiety. There's more that goes into this than I thought and I'm having second thoughts.

I wanted to make these 2 phone calls this morning and couldn't make either. These setbacks are so frustrating and deflating to my confidence especially when I went over this very subject with my T last week. I made no progress. I hate myself right now.
