Anxiety can overwhelm anyone and it gets to you when you say and think, "I can't". That is its power. When you are feeling like you won't be able to accomplish an obstacle, your emotions can take over.

You can do anything you want to. It is a choice. We are all works in progress so please don't feel alone. There are things we can't control but we can control how we are going to react.

So nursing is not for you and neither is teaching. That is OK. There is no failure. You are finding what works for you and choosing your paths.

Believe in yourself and that there is something out there that will work for you in a different field or in the same field but different category. I wish you well!

thank you kacc. Sometimes i feel so hopeless. but i dont want too dwell on the negatives. I hope I will be fine!

Hello! I'm sorry things are so difficult right now. I agree with Kacc, try to not look at this as a failure. You figured out nursing and teaching are not for you. I think those are both very highly stressful careers, most people probably couldn't do either one. Lots of colleges have programs where you can take an interest inventory and find out what other careers may interest you. There's also a book called "Do what you are" it has a personality test in it you take and then tells you according to your type of personality careers that may be a good fit. Hang in there and message me anytime if you'd like to talk more. ((hugs))

Just because you're 27 doesn't mean that you should have a career path already. A lot of people don't get settled into a career that they love until they've reached their 40s and 50s. So many people are going back to school and getting their degrees later in life, now. Most MBA courses are geared towards working professionals. Maybe you should just stop looking for the perfect career, and let one find you. Get a job, like...in retail, or bartending, or whatever, finish your GenEd courses and wait until you get inspired. Not everyone is meant to do the whole college-career path. Don't get yourself down! Once you figure out what you really want to do, I can guaranty that you'll love going to school and learning about it! Good luck to you

I am feeling sad the whole day, it seems like everything is going slow for me. I know that i should be patient but sometimes i cant wait. I am looking forward to the baking class next month. I am planning to make money out of baking. But im just a beginner so i need a lot of practice. If nursing and teaching is not for me, i'd love to consider and photography. Maybe i could build a photo studio. What do you think?

i mean i'd love to consider photography and baking. Maybe i could build my own photo studio or maybe i could sell cakes and cupcakes and other popular breads.

I retired about a year ago and I am asking myself what I want to be when I grow up. smile...
I am not making light of your struggles I am relating to them.
The things you have listed sound like a great place to start. From what you said finding a job in a bakery may be for you. You could work just part time in the morning and could help ease you into working more...or not. Maybe going to school is good.
You can do this. Take a look at what you like and start walking in that direction. If like nursing it is not the right one, try something else.
I had a successful career of 25 years that I loved but now I don't know what I want to do. I have tried a couple things that didn't work. They were not right for me.
You will find it, just start putting one foot in front of the other until you find a direction that is right for you.
God Bless,

Yes sweetheart there is hope, infact i have high anxiety right now, and its a desperate feeling, reading your post has made me think more calmly about it, It will come down, it can only reach a certain level. The thing we have to remind ourselves is, the more we become afraid of it the longer it will last, its not easy boy do i know, but we have to kinda ride the storm. Yes there is hope, susie x

Someone told me once that not many people really know what they want for a career until they hit their 30s. It's very common.

yes as long as i have breathe,hope is there.maddie.

Mine controls me because I let it control me. I am working on coping strategies in therapy to get better. Do you have a therapist? Are you on med? I suggest both.....
