I am in a state of confusion and I am unsure what I am to do . I started studying a diploma of nursing and I am doubting myself whether I can succeed and complete the 18months , what's made it worse is I saw my doctor today and she said that I am studying to much and really should find something that I am qualified to do. It was like I went to get check up and ask about a referral to my psych again as I haven't seen her since September and I really could use a appt. but instead I come out more confused about what I am doing (study wise ) and no referral as she doesn't think I am eligible yet .
I feel so down and useless to the point that I not good at anything and that I am just making the wrong choices in life and the others around me don't believe that I am capable of doing the things I choose to do . Sometimes I wonder why I am in this life .
Please don't be too rough on yourself @Tufflife. You are going through a really rough patch. It's really hard without the right support. I have experienced the same feelings ( of being a burden to my 4 kids and family) as you only a couple of months ago. You are not alone. I'll say goodnight now unless you want to chat. I don't want you to feel pressured by me either. All the best😊💜
