I've got ME and can't work or stay in education because of it. It's frustrating and I hate being this ill but I am slowly recovering and need the time out.

On my time out I'm obviously focusing on my health and working through a recovery programme but want something to do when I'm up to it. Volunteering where I live is mainly charity shops which won't work because I can't stay standing for that length of time and socialising can be draining.

I've been considering doing a basic first aid training course with St John's to learn things like CPR but don't know how difficult it is. Have any of you done it? Or a similar course? I've got no experience whatsoever and would just be doing the very basic course. I'm able to do some physical work but shouldn't do heavy lifting or anything like that until I'm better. I just don't want to feel like I'm wasting the time I have even though recovering is obviously not a waste of time 😜

Thoughts?
