Being depressed

Published

So I'm about to get done with my application and I'm starting to get really depressed.

2 years seems like such a long time!!!

BTW I already have a BA And it took me forever to get.

I just feel like life keeps hitting the restart button on me :(

I have had a very hard life. If I had family/friends that could help me I would be asking them and not a public forum.

I will continue asking, I will continue to aspire to be more than I am today, hence my screen name "Upward_Bound".

And to address your comment about instant gratification this is not it. I have an AA, BA several certs etc. I have been in school over 7 years full time (including summer) and now finished another year (pre nursing), 6 months of waiting to be accepted, then 2 years of study.

How you consider that instant gratification or whining is beyond me.

If I were you I'd STOP posting because at this point I can see clearly why so many hospitals have such a lrg turnover. Ignore nastiness, period. Don't engage. Do not listen to people who act holier than now ok. You're emotional issues might be best taken to a therapist who is licenced in therapy, not nursing. My first language isn't English & ignorant people jump to conclusions and bully, I could care.less it just makes me feel sad for how myserable their lives must be to think it's ok to talk down to people. Anyway there are some fantastic books out there k. Like Dialectical behavior skills, cognitive management these just may help you understand things better. Go to Fb title is "scrubs" most nurses, techs' na's aren't so cold. Nobody deserves to be slammed, I'm here if you need a friend.

And I won't judge you.

My degree is in a non scientific field. Plus my credits are old so I had to retake everything including a placement test for math.

I don't care if you don't care about me. If that's the most important information you have to relay then stop posting on my questions and find causes you deem to be worthy of your inconsiderate time.

Don't even respond to people like that. No need to explain yourself. Listen to those are kind, and explaining it assertively without insults. That's bullying!

You keep using the word "bullying". I don't think it means what you think it means.

I don't get it. I have NEVER felt bullied in my life. People are just sensitive. Disagreement and criticism does not equal bullying. 🙃

I was bullied in school - the real bullying, like being pushed downstairs, people spitting in my food, having my wrist grabbed and sprained etcetera.

I have not experienced bullying in nursing, however.

Certainly, there are plenty of strong personalities in our field but we got along for the most part. As it turns out, having a macabre, sarcastic sense of humor can bring lots of people together! (See dirty mind thread that's going on now)

I'm guessing multiple accounts and logged in under the wrong one.

Haha I admit, I did wonder about multiple posters crying "Foul" about the same things and thought it sounded eerily similar.

After I read this I looked up someone else's profile and saw it was the only posts they made to AN.

Those who want to pretend to be multiple people, good luck with your future. I'm off to go study for my nursing classes.
