ehm... my thoughts here would be that it's the samaritans, if you're having a problem like that and don't feel capable of doing the work i reckon they'll be pretty understanding, just gotta let them know and keep em advised i guess....

To Volunteer - the act of giving yourself to help others on your own terms, at your own schedule, at your own ability. There is no such thing as BAD, GOOD, BETTER, BEST volunteering. All voulteering is amazing.

You will do what you can, and when you can't, you will take a day off....

congrats

Volunteering is a reward onto itself. Just go there & do the best you can. Don't put any pressure on yourself. All you can do is all you can do. Just being a part of the team is good enough to show how much you support the samaritains centre....

see it works the other way for me sometimes. When I'm feeling crappy I listen to and give advice to others and it makes me feel better. But yeah I agree with Alatar you should talk to them about this. THEY'RE BLOODY SAMARITANS IT'S THEIR JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So yeah, ahem, they should understand...
