Hi Annebear
Shame about the volunteer work - there will be something else around the corner. Where have you been looking for this type of work? For example, I know that animal shelters are always looking for volunteers to help out, especially on weekends. If you are up to it, go and visit a shelter and ask if the need any help in, say, walking the dogs. Just a suggestion. If you are not ready to study again, then give it a break. Don't force it.
Good luck!
