Re: I'm going insane!!!
[quote=Nurse4life09;3702078]hi everyone,
I
cannot handle the stress/anxiety. I'm always worried I'll do the wrong thing, say the wrong thing. I cannot stand not knowing everything. I cannot stand the unpredictable.
So how do people handle the anxiety of not messing up? I feel like there is so much of nursing that I just dont know!!
I do not believe in anti-anxiety, SSRIs, etc quote]
Relax.
Thats it. Just relax some.
I like your thinking about ssri's... Me too. I have seen psychiatric illness, and borderline personality dissorder is one of my favorites when it comes up!
I would not believe otherwise to the fact that I, and WE are all ignorant to ourselves, right? I can see your back, you can see mine, but niether of us can see our own... I am sure you are doing better than you think, but you sound lost?
True psychiatric illness, requiring meds :;: is a realatively new era, & all, but then again, early western civilizations did not have priveledge to such "chemical imbalance", balancer-out-erzs (you need to research it more! They do mess things up.. up there, in the brain.
Especially when they are continually taken for many years, every single day). Although, I do believe that some people whom are just out loose free in this word definitely would/do benefit greatly from just such scientific break-throughsl...
What don't U know?
Of that, what is most important to know for YOUR part of nursing? You will never master OB if you strictly try to run through Trauma after Trauma...
Get all your certs, and make sure you get them for the right reasons (MONEY!!!) - (Just kidding)
What areas are you weeEEeek in? Learn to improve.
I mean, your just as far along as me, and I try to just soak it up as it comes... It never seems to stop coming...
