Blessed RN2B

Thank you so much Farrasha ! It is really nice to know that their is someone out there like me that has made it through their journey. With you sharing this information with me has gave me a better outlook! Thank you so much to everyone who took the time out to respond back.

Thanks for the advice. I have been actually debating about seeing a psychologist. As I know that I’m reality no one is really talking about me, it’s this condition that’s leave me with negative thoughts sometimes. Would Cognitive behavior treatment alone be successful in treating Social Anxiety? I have done a lot of research on medication therapy and based on my findings I’m not sure if that would be the best option for me. I have been working as a CNA for 7 years now. I have 3 years of experience working in a nursing home. I was their whenever my co workers needed help, had no problem interacting with clients or family members. My Anxiety seems to hit me worst in new situations like job interviews for instance. My head nurse could tell that I was horribly nervous at the interview but felt I would do just fine on the floor. Glad she gave me a chance because I did pretty good. I wasn’t the type to sit around and chit chat with coworkers but I was able to communicate and do my job effectively. My apologies for the long rant.

Hello, I am a pre nursing student. I will be taking my last pre req this up coming fall (A&P 2). The problem is that I have been suffering with social anxiety for about 18 years now, which is over half of my life being that I’m only 27. My grades in my pre req’s have been pretty good , mostly A’s & B’s. I feel like having this condition is stopping me from reaching my full potential. I get very nervous when I’m speaking to authority figures or talking with new people. It kill me to make eye contact for long periods of time, and I seem to think that everyone’s talking about me, or thinks I’m incompetent. I really want to be a good nurse, starting to feel like all of my hard work has been for nothing! Please help me out with any suggestions, I feel so lost. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am beginning to take A& P 2 this up coming fall semester. The problem is that I have been suffering with social anxiety for about 18 years, which is half of my life being that I’m only 27. The anxiety seems to hit me whenever I’m being evaluated, public speaking, or even speaking to authority figures or new class mates. It makes me feel like everyone is talking about me or just think I’m stupid.It terrifies me that I might make a mistake and embarrass myself. So far throughout my pre request I’ve made A’s & B’s. I really want to be a good nurse, but I’m starting to believe all of my hard work may be for nothing! Please help me out with some advice, I feel so lost.
