I am really not doing so well & I am struggling. I can't seem to function too well atm. I am shutting down. I saw my psych today, and she doesn't think doing exercise science is going to be good choice to study because there is not much work available in this field.
I am not able to articulate too well, what is happening for me. I am just exhasuted and scared and alone.

Thanks @Zoe7
You seem to be having a good day, so you enjoy your day. I just have a lot of thinking to do. I am still unsure of my specialist I see. I am wondering if I have made the right decision.

I am unsure of my specialist
I am unsure about my studies
I am unsure about her advice
Sorry its so basic- generally just really unsure about things @Zoe7

That's ok - it's a start @oceangirl
Let's start with your specialist - what are you most unsure of - what was her advice and how did you feel when she gave that to you?
In response to: Re: I am not doing so well

I'm not sure if it was advice as such but she did give her opinion. She thought I am better off starting my study slowly either tafe course or 1 course at university.For instance the nursing course to start off doing cert 111 and then EN and then RN course- I am unsure of that advice.
Even if I did the EN course and then did the RN course- I see a lot of time wasted and money. The RN course is the same fees if not more then the degree at university.
