Fearing a Mental Breakdown

Hi. I'm really concerned about making it through nursing school. I feel like I'm on the verge of an emotional breakdown. I'm a junior undergrad BSN student. Truth is I've had a great deal of trouble with anxiouness & 1 panic attack over the past year. I'm 20, but my family basically controls my life, finances & refuses to facilitate me getting my driver's license even, so I'm a commuter without a car on a mostly residential campus. I feel isolated & like I have no idea what I'm doing or what to do. I feel like an anxious weenie in clinical & like I'll never be the confident nurse I need to be. I feel like I'm just drained & close to giving up. I just want to sleep & do nothing, but I need to pass this. But I just don't have the energy to face all these challenges anymore. I know everyone probably feels scared & I probably seem dramatic, I'm sorry. I just want to be a nurse, but I'm not sure I can do it.

    You’re going to need more help than a post on a forum. I’d seek out the school counselor for a start.

    I am seeing an intern counselor at my university, although I've only seen her probably 5 times. It's been a bit helpful I suppose. Thank you for your thoughts:)
