I would really like to be an LPN. Then continue to study for RN. In the end I want to be a RN and work in Diabetes Education. But I am worried. If stress brings on anxiety, and I am prone to anxiety anyway, would I just be setting myself up for disaster? In my "what if" thinking, I am scared that I will get my LPN, then work a few shifts then get a major panic attack and go into an anxiety "funk". Like I am now, you can see in my previous posts that I am going through a really hard time right now. I have accepted that this is due to my grief and that it will pass. Its been 2 months and I am now confident that it WILL pass. I just have to keep faith. But if anyone does work in the health care field, maybe you can tell me how it is?
On another note, I have been doing a little better. I went out shopping tonight. Granted I had to come home a little earlier but at the very least I went. I went clear across town! It was even dark out. (anxiety is harder at night). So I hope that what I am doing is helping. One foot in front of the other. Sometimes I am afraid that this is all for nothing, and that it will never pass, but then I pray and I just HAVE to believe that I will heal. God Bless. :)) Its kinda like therapy typing this out. So thanks for reading.
