I'm not feeling well today. Very low energy. I put in an application to volunteer at a helpline. I spoke with the person who will be my supervisor. I have gone back and forth on this for quite a while. The training starts in the fall. But I will be starting to observe some people in a few weeks. It is very thorough training. But I am so scared! I have backed out before because I didn't have the confidence, and felt overwhelmed by the concept of ME, working at a helpline, and wanting to say and do the right thing. And all the scary what ifs. She was very supportive today, and helpful in answering my questions and concerns. I think I just need to relax. I hope I can do it. If not, I will give it my best shot. Feeling a little better after having written this.

I have a friend who I am always going to, and he is not in a place to be able to help me all the time. He has his own issues. Thanks for listening to me babble.

starrysky,

I think that great that you are going to be volunteering. Observing will give you an idea of what it will be like. Good luck!
