I have time to give. I could help out at the meetings. I just can't run a troop. I can't handle the responsibility without breaking. There are a lot of things I can do, just not that.
I think the organizer was really hoping that I could run a troop. She was very interested in me until I made it clear that my disabilities prohibit it. Trying to explain that certain types of stress can make me suicidal is hard. Suicidal depression is hard enough for many people to understand if they haven't experienced it. Suicidal anxiety is even harder.
