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.

Time for a pros and cons list for all 3 options then @oceangirl
OMG this is a really tough one sis - we can get there there though - let's go through the benefits for each one first - EP, nursing, hospital - what are the things that you would get from each - don't think too much just write what comes to mind we'll put it all together as we go - I have paper and pencil ready to help
