Hello everyone. I sorry to say that I am not myself right now. I am very depressed! I missed 24 hours of clinical @ phlebotomy, I don't have a job, don't have any money, and can't find a job, and slowly i am losing self esteem. I just dont know what to do, i feel like i havent made a good decission for myself in months! I don't know how i will make it through this depression, but im gonna try, im sure God can help me. I feel like i am no longer capable of making decissions for myself, i just keep choosing the wrong thing. I'm sorry for making this so long, but i feel better when i can share with others. OK here it goes, I got hired @ a really good nursing home (genesis elder care) but i missed my second day of orientation because i was running a half hour late, so i was to embarassed to go, then i found another job, but couldnt stand it and left in like a month or two next i start the phlebotomy class i dreamed of, turns out it was not what i thought, i miss 24 clincal hours and probaly ruined my relationship with my clinical site, by the way i dont like the class. what im trying to figure out is if the whole situation with phlebotomy is in my head since im already upset. i really thought i would like it. i messed up in the clinical part but i have straight A's in the class, and 3 weeks left. i dont know what to do, i dont know if i wannna finish the class or what. im just really stressed! thanks for letting me whine. your comments are always welcome and please pray for me

Just read your update. Good for you!

I couldn't have said it better myself Katscan. Well done.

These were my thoughts exactly when I read your first posting JKm. I don't believe it really has anything to do with your competency level, but with the depression and state of mind you are in right now. Sounds like you have a lot of excess baggage that needs to be dealt with in the right forum of treatment -- like with a doctor (counselor, psychologist, etc.). Been there myself in times past, so I'm sharing these things with you from my gut.

You'll certainly have my prayers as you requested. :kiss

(((((((((((((((((JKm))))))))))))))) Update us on how you do, okay? :)

JKm,

If you look at Cheerfuldoer's record you see she has 5500+ posts. I've read a lot of those and I haven't found that she gives any bad advice.

In my own life I've had setbacks. I dropped out of high school once, and college four times before I finally found that I could finnish something.

I've been on anti-depressants, for short periods of time, three different times. You can get beyond this. Stick to it and finish what you are up to now, then if it isn't what you want, find what you want and go get it. You CAN!

Add 1 to the folks saying a prayer for you.
