Can't believe I did it...

[rocketred]

I had an appointment with the manager of the centre I'm hoping to volunteer with this morning for a little look around. Was feeling awful, nauseous, shaky, stomach pains - generally terrible but somehow I managed to go and enjoyed being around people even though it was only for 20 minutes. Just got to phone her this afternoon and arrange a proper taster session. Calmer about it now and more excited than anything else The people seemed really lovely which was a bonus. Still can't believe I actually went - my anxiety was really high last night and this morning when I was thinking about it but I did it! The thought of going was definitely worse than the actual experience.

Hi well done so pleased for you I hope you feel really proud of yourself

I always think the build up to events are the worse part & when I actually get there it is not as bad as I thought & I do better than what I thought I would which is a real bonus !

Just have to control the irrational thoughts anxiety creates before hand !

Hope you treat yourself to a nice cake or something now

Look forward to hearing how your taster session goes

Love

This is great news. I did voluntary work for a while before I got my little job and loved it. And they will love you and really appreciate the fact that you have volunteered. Good luck and have a great time. Julie xx
