How can I manage my anxiety while volunteering?

I'm really interested in volunteering, but I struggle with anxiety. How can I manage it?

It's great that you want to volunteer! Managing anxiety can be challenging, but there are strategies you can use. Have you considered starting with small commitments?

I haven't thought about that. What kind of small commitments do you suggest?

You could start with a one-time event or a short shift at a local organization. This way, you can gauge your comfort level without feeling overwhelmed.

That makes sense. What if I still feel anxious during the volunteering?

It's completely normal to feel anxious. You can practice deep breathing techniques or take short breaks if you need to. Remember, it's okay to prioritize your mental health.

Thanks! I feel a bit more confident about trying it now.
