How long ago did you leave school? I think volunteering is a wonderful way to contribute to society, it's something I'd love to do if I had more time x

Hi Duncan

It's great that you are looking for ways to make a life for yourself, that is the most important thing, that you want to find a way to contribute whilst also gaining satisfaction for yourself. Do you have any specific area that you think you may volunteer in?

Hi Duncan

Volunteering sounds great and it will help you In every way. Are there any courses

You can do that would help you to get a job , I know it's hard nowadays . I'm not sure

What age you left school at. Or what skills you have. You could always thinkAbout going back to education too, which would help you get work.

Duncan great to hear from you and look after yourself

Good to hear from you again Duncan. Just do what you can and as we have said before either volunteering if you are up to it but do be careful not to put too much stress on yourself as many of these roles are "caring" roles and can be quite demanding, or did you have any success looking for Mind groups in your area? As long as you keep yourself active and meeting people that is the good thing. Try not to feel guilty as you sound like someone who always does their best and we all have different qualities. My job history is absolutely appauling but I am coming to accept that does not make me a bad person and like yourself I contribute wherever I can.

Hi still trying thank yov for your comments I think I need to take my time habit more anyway hope you are ok

[Stilltrying_]

Yes do take your time. We are all different and there is no need to feel bad about not working. Just maybe try and find something you enjoy doing or that makes you feel a bit better or try and get more support for yourself if you need it to access these things. Take good care, I'm ok thanks, stilltrying!!
