Obsessing

I'm *pretty* sure I'm not the only one here that can get up in my head about what going on with my license/career ? My situation has me waiting for over 8 months to get my license back. I can worry about it for almost the whole day and after all that I'm still in the same spot.

A friend of mine told me something that might help the next nurse. I have bad moments, it doesn't mean I have a bad day. This is so hard to practice in everyday life but when I realize I don't have to sit worrying about what's going to happen I can look at what I'm grateful for today.

So for everyone scared ******** and/or angry at this process: know that you can have a bad moment, it doesn't have to be a bad day.

    Please hang in there... it is really important to stay connected with other nurses in the same situation. I am in the same boat...its been a year now and I am just beginning to believe that I will make it and that success is possible. We have to believe in each other. Don't let any negativity from anyone into your life. There are so many bad things we can hear if we choose to listen to it. Pick positive people to hang with, and BE a positive person. We will get through this!!

    Absolutely! Getting back to work and applying the new coping skills I learned is hard work! I lose my 'emotional sobriety' like 10 times a day on a bad day lol but the thing is I wake up everyday for the past 4 years and make the decision that I'm not going to pick up, no matter what.
