Sorry, I didn't mean to generalize. I have been on Welfare a few times since 2001. It saved me. I couldn't work because I could barely function. So I know what it's like.
I am working now but have only worked 1 week. I still don't know if I will be able to keep my job. This is a test run for me. I really don't know how my body/brain will react to the stress of the job. I don't want to have a meltdown but it's at the back of my mind all the time.
Before I got this job I was volunteering and that helped me get out the house and face my fears. I am going to continue with my volunteer work even though I have a job. I really enjoy the volunteer work that I do. I think it's an excellent idea for you to try and do some. I know it's scary, but I find that when you volunteer, the organization is so appreciative and it feels good to receive positive comments.
So I am sorry if I offended you in any way. That was not my intention.
Take care.
