Walking on the road to recovery ........ šŸ¤”

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ šŸ¤”

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 ........ šŸ¤”

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 ........ šŸ¤”

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 ........ šŸ¤”

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

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ šŸ¤”

My heart is set on working with migrant women @utopia but it’s not likely to happen. I’m way too emotionally fragile. The coordinator of volunteering knows my mental health situation and we will make a plan but it’s likely that will be too much to start off with. I’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 ........ šŸ¤”

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 šŸ‘‹

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

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ šŸ¤”

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

How are you travelling ?  Wanna talk about it ?
