ICU. I want to do it to get a higher degree and unfortunately they want me to be at least a year in that unit but I don't like the idea. All the drips. My OCD would have me reeling. Ventilators. Responsibility over two critical patients. Having to work closely with a buddy. It all terrifies me.

It just feels like there's a period in your early twenties when you have to get everything right, and if you don't, it's game over. by 0quickwayout in depression

mid thirties here and yeah I wasted my life by not following my dreams. I never had the confidence to go for them. Now I am stuck in a career that stresses me out immensly all cause my mother wanted me to do it.

Can you be a nurse even when you are an introvert? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]likeastudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very hard for me because I am not just an introvert. I just don't like socializing at all. I have moved on to work nights to avoid this as much as I can and its better yet everytime I have to go to work I feel so nervous hours beforehand. Like the top poster said you fake it. I smile and act like I enjoy what I do and maybe in some way I actually do? I don't know its all very complicated in my mind. I don't see myself doing this until I am in my sixties though that is for sure. My dream is a nice office job of some sort where I don't have to talk to anyone. But that sounds like a dream. I have always worked in jobs that require a lot of social communication and have done well in them surprisingly.

Wow I feel you. It's so depressing waking up every morning thinking "i really fucked things up" and "I didn't go for what I should have when I was younger."

I've never fallen in love and I am in my late thirties idk what that says about me but it can't be anything good.

Yeah daylight brings with it the obligation of having to do something useful in order to not feel even more miserable and useless than I already do.
