The title says it. I received crushing news that I couldn't volunteer yoga instruction, but on their webpage it clearly says they have volunteer instructors. I don't want money involved in my practice. It feels like they don't want specifically me. I'm not going to try anything for a while and see what happens. I'm not going to push anything or make effort that could help others because it's clear I'm not wanted. This was my one remaining light I was holding onto and it's been put out too. Nothing left. I give up

I'm sorry that happened. Did they explain why they didn't want you--honestly. I think that would be helpful for you to know. We all need some goal--work/hobby/ volunteer work, I think.

so sorry. i remember once, as a teenager, i volunteered for this organization, months in advance of a scheduled big time event (which would require lots of both volunteers and paid employees). so, a couple of weeks before the event was to get started, i get a letter...saying they wouldn't be needing me as a volunteer. :-( true story.

Maybe it’s a insurance issue ? Since they said “policy” ?

Probably.
I'm just not going to try any more. If opportunities arise, I'll consider them at that point. I'm not going try to make opportunities.
If these med changes don't start having a positive effect, I'll be in trouble. My depression isn't lifting, but some indicators show that I could be mixed mood. Those are the most dangerous for me usually.
Neither of the two practices I went to today helped. I felt like I was unwanted. That's a feeling I know all too well. I'm going to try to sleep early.

I’m sorry your dealing with depression it just distorts everything we deal with. I hope you don’t hit a mixed , that’s just literally hell on earth. It’s a bad place for me also.
