The Boston Area Rape Crisis Center is holding a training session on June 4th for its Survivor Speakers Bureau.

I should apply; I want to do that. I am afraid to apply; what if I can't?

I'm sure you wouldn't be the first.

As long as you don't have some reason to believe trying it would damage you (I'm not at all sure it wouldn't damage me, frex), I say go for it, and be conscious of your limitations.

Trying it should be fine - if I have to pull out, it'll suck for a while because I'll feel guilty but I am capable of working through that.

I think I am more worried about limitations on my skills (I have no idea whether I can learn to be a competent public speaker) and my ability level as affected by decently-controlled depression (still figuring out what I can and can't do in terms of leaving the house and expending energy).
