Finally my volunteering journey has started Only just mind but I'm off that starting line, I attended my first training/awareness course for one full day and to be honest it was pretty awesome and so interesting you learn things about mental ill health that I never knew existed such as that I always called it mental health; well that's incorrect its mental ILL health, Mental health is just a state of mind.
we did also get lots of yummy biscuits and unlimited amount of tea WINNER
I really feel like I have found my calling and can not wait to get fully going hopefully within the next few months i will be paired up with someone who really needs support. I want to help support and listen to these people. There are so many people suffering ill health with not a soul in the world, even if sometimes its down to themselves everyone needs a listening ear.
This to me is the start of my future for me and everything I want to achieve, It may have only been one day so far but I felt like I didn't want it to end I love learning about mental health as it is so interesting. Even if I now am analysing my friends and family for mental ill health traits! ha ha
so that's just a quick update on how its all going as have mentioned now this is what I wanted to do!
