Walking on the road to recovery ........ ๐Ÿค”

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ ๐Ÿค”

The volunteering jobs sound promising @Teej. A really great way to start. What types of roles are they for?

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ ๐Ÿค”

One is for working with migrant women to help them live in their community and one is helping people (mainly seniors) learn to use their computers and tablets and phones. @utopia. What are you up to? How are you travelling? 

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ ๐Ÿค”

And yes @Teej I get stuck not knowing what I want to do. Only knowing I don't want the life I currently have. And those thoughts get really strong when my depression is close by.
The rest of the time, I don't think. I don't really feel. Just numb most of the time.

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ ๐Ÿค”

They both sound really rewarding type roles. Do you have a favorite? @Teej

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ ๐Ÿค”

My heart is set on working with migrant women @utopia but itโ€™s not likely to happen. Iโ€™m way too emotionally fragile. The coordinator of volunteering knows my mental health situation and we will make a plan but itโ€™s likely that will be too much to start off with. Iโ€™m ok with the other one I hope. 

Its kind of strange that I feel kind of numb with some things but totally over the top emotional with others. Keeping a lid on my emotions has been really hard if not impossible lately. 

If you could volunteer what would you choose just now? 

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ ๐Ÿค”

Of the two - I would pick migrant women's job @Teej - purely because that's an area I'm interested in - especially refugees.
But it's good that you know what might be too emotionally hard for you to do. That's good insight.
There are certain areas that I couldn't work in since I got sick. One area being mental health. Lol

Hey @Faith-and-Hope ๐Ÿ‘‹

i think we are both having a turbulent day. Hoping you are ok. 

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ ๐Ÿค”

Definitely not great @Teej but I can safely say I have been worse.

How are you travelling ?  Wanna talk about it ?
