LPN/LVN Student getting even more stressed out!...

[p2o8]

hi. i am only 3 mos from graduating my program! i am very stressed! not only do i go to school full time, but i am a mom to 7 children. four of my own and 3 great stepchildren!! i also work. i have been feeling the pressure of having had to put alot of my personal life on hold. including my family. my husband is very supportive and gives me all the study time i need, usually!! i need the biggest get away that does not involve time to study!! my non school friends have no clue why i don't have time and very little understanding why i don't have time!! sometimes i feel like since i am in such a demanding program, that i need someone to tell me that is ok for me to want to scream!! i guess unfortunately that i have become self-pitying of myself!! if i had one wish for myself it would be to locked in a cozy room with a warm blanket a tv remote and no one but me for just one day!! oh yeah and all the fruit i love to eat all day and a great huge crockpot of chicken paprikash to eat!!

am i just a bafoon for all this or am just facing reality of wanting it all!! thanks and have a blessed day!! :sasq:

Hang in there, the last semester is the absolute worst but it will be over very soon. As for your wishes of peace and quiet even without nursing school I doubt there will be much time in your life for lounging around solo. :)
