Hi. This is my first post on this website and I would just like someone to hear me out because I think I've come to the point where I feel stuck... I developed health anxiety (well.. i self-diagnosed myself lol) and I hate it so much. I feel like it is stopping me from focusing on school and even in my daily life; I think too much about everything that is happening in my body. I was never like this before nursing school, and I feel like having so much knowledge in diseases make it hard for me live a "normal" life because of the patients we see... it can happen to anyone, you know? I don't hate nursing school, but I do have fears that I'm not smart enough to become a nurse because I don't have the high average most people around me seem to have. I don't hate the tasks in nursing as I enjoyed my 2nd try clinical rotations. I guess this was more of a vent...not really sure where I'm going with this...I just feel stuck because I'm not sure if nursing school is something I should pursue if I have these feelings? I also know I probably need to see a therapist lol...
