Career Changes Support Group
This community is dedicated to the difficult challenges of transitioning from one career or job to a new one. Especially as we grow older, it can be very difficult to acquire the skills and relationships and take the financial risk to make the switch.
hi everyone.im not that lonely right now. Maybe its because my mind refuses to think about my problems. I'm 25 years old, and still I never had a job because of too much anxiety and depression. My depression caused me to have a slow kind of thinking and having a difficult time on concentrating. I'm the type of person who doesn't give up easily. But now it seems like I want to give up because i think thats the right decision.
I graduated 3 years ago, and im a nurse already. I went into training in a hospital but I chickened out. I cant perform the tasks because of difficulty concentrating. And then after that i took a long vacation, On those days of my vacation, i was thinking maybe I'm not yet ready. So a year passed, and then i went on in a training again. (just 2 weeks ago i think). I was hoping that this time it will be different. But i was wrong. I still suffer from too much confusion.
I haven't seen my pdoc but it was a year ago..(almost) when she told me that i have to switch careers, something less stressful. Something which i can handle. Im trying to consider putting up a small business. Like selling baked goodies. Or maybe teaching. ( I tried studying teaching but at the second day of class i got a huge panic atttack and then i suddenly stopped...so there, thats how it ended) ,
You know what from my experience on the hospital training feels like i got traumatized. I feel like i dont want a boss. I wanted to become my own boss. I just dont want people to notice that there's something wrong with me. Because I honestly am ashamed of my weak mind. My depressive personality. Sometimes I want to cry because no matter how hard i try, i always lose in the end.
I want to hate everything about myself. Im insecure with normal people. I just feel so stupid. A friend want to help me so I could be a nurse in Australia. Its a great opportunity but what can I do? I JUST CAN'T! because OF THIS STUPID ILLNESS!!
Im scared for my future. What if my parents are not around anymore.?
My self esteem is so low right now. I know what to do but it feels like my binge eating and depression are my best friends. My future is on hold. My life is on hold.
I just dont know what to do.
Please help.

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
I don't know you, but I know the nursing program. You have to be off the chart smart to make it as far as you did. I've majored in Computer Science(BA degree) and Electronics(Associate degree). These courses were easy compared to the nursing classes I took.
Don't sell yourself short. Nursing may not be for you, but as smart as you are, you're sure to find something that will work for you. I'm in sales now, and loving it. It's not the career I planned. And it doesn't pay as well as nursing, but I'm happy and that's all that matters.
Remember, plenty of nurses leave the profession everyday. These are smart, highly skilled people that are just burned out. That's why there's a shortage. It's just a hard and stressful career choice. I'm glad I didn't do it.
I used to say, if you can get a nursing degree, you can do anything. Everything is easier than nursing.
