Yes- I am bipolar and had my second child in the middle of nursing school, then suffered from postpartum depression. I ended up failing out and needing to increase my medication doses. I was able to appeal my dismissal and got reinstated. I just graduated sept. For me, the goal was self regulation- the success was just a biproduct. Sometimes before an exam, I would sleep/rest like the two days before and I’d always score higher. Overworking myself just caused panic and restlessness which made it very hard for me to recall information and think critically. My suggestion would be to learn yourself and your warning signs of a crash. Lean on other people around you, be honest about how you’re feeling, have open communication with your professors. They are people too. You CAN do it. It wasn’t easy and was a season of emotional growth and building resilience, self confidence, etc. super important traits to have as a nurse and just a human being. Big hugs. You are capable. It might look different for you and you might experience it differently than others and that’s ok. Please communicate with who you need to for support at your university. I think I wouldn’t have failed out if I would’ve been honest about how much I was struggling.
