Metron,
I understand the stress level and needing someplace to "vent" it. Have you thought about talking to your primary care physician about this.....maybe they could help you in this respect. I also make sure that I do something everyday, might be exercising, )I do martial arts when I have time), fast walking....anything that will let some "steam" off.
My positive thoughts are with you on this one...let us know how things go!:)
I had the exact same problem for the longest time.
This is something you have to remind yourself of constantly. I put a little card in my pocket, with a little saying on it to remind me.
You can always go into a linen closet or bathroom and vent if you need to.
Also, you can go to the instructor, tell her, "I am feeling like *********, and need to talk so I don't vent this here." She might be willing to go aside with you for a few minutes.
Most of it is stress, or lack of confidence in yourself for that few minutes.
Take a deep breath, and remember that you, too, are human.
It takes a big, big person to admit to a fault, any fault, and then to do something about it.
You can do it, and remember that we are all here for you.
Vent here if you need to.
Love, Marla
Metron,
Good luck! Keep at it. Like they said it takes a lot to recognize a problem and deal with it. You should be proud that you are doing that. Also, practice or walk like you said it will help. I have been off and on running since I started Nursing and it helps when I do it. Keep in there. You can do it.
Misty
Misty has a great idea. Physical exercize is one of the best things that you can do for yourself not only physically but also mentally. I try to do yoga every other day, and on the days that I do it I am a different person. Just keep on going you will make it soon.I have to keep telling myself that.
Good Luck Jessica
