negative thoughts

[den68]

Hi everyone
About 3 weeks ago i decided i would like to help out at the local mind. So off i went and met the team and they suggested they could train me to be a befriender. Great i thought and was really looking forward to it, that is untill other people started saying to me are you sure you are strong enough?, it might make you ill, What happens if you get attacked when your on your own in someones house you dont know?. To cut a long story short im going for my first training session tommorrow but have started worrying what happens if i cant help these people? Am i strong enough and all those negative things are taking over now. I do want to go but what happens if all those people are right and i make a mess of it all and make someones situation worse
Help dont know what to do

Sorry i missed this one - what did you do??
This is a major problem for "us" it does not take much to undermine our thinking.
Logically 'MIND' must have thought you were ready or they would not have suggested it
Best wishes

what if they are right and its too much work? most likely your answer is quite a bit exaggerated?
