I've been putting myself out of work for one year due to COVID. Now I'm trying to get comfy with finding volunteer work to return to the work force in some way. Finding a paying job feels like too much pressure after being out of work for so long, so volunteer work is the next best thing. And so I'm trying to get comfy with finding it, because even for things which are demonstrably easier and less pressuring, trying to start a new thing always makes me feel a little lost and anxious.
