Depressed
I am almost through my second semester of nursing school. Just got a divorce and only get to see my daughter 50% of the time. I had to move out of our house because I could not afford the mortgage payments. I am so down and have reached out to all of my friends but still feel so alone. I know I can do this...I even think about going to med school or ARNP school but right now I don't even know how I am going to get to tomorrow. I have a periop test tomorrow that I have just kind of started reading for. It seems somewhat simple to me but I just can't absorb any information. I am stuck in this rut and right now I have to be awesome! I have to do well for myself and my daughter. I am currently on meds for depression, anxiety, and add. I know this has a lot to do with situational depression but I can't seem to snap out of it. I was fine for the first few weeks and then all of a sudden, BOOM. It has hit me.

Going through a divorce and in second semester of nursing school
Hi there! I am freaking out this semester. I just moved out of my house and into my best friends house like one week ago...I have a six-year-old daughter and am in the middle of a divorce. I am trying to keep it together for her and to do well in nursing school. I am suffering from severe anxiety which I have meds for but I just don't know what to do. I hate how much time this is taking away from my kid because I have to study, I am constantly thinking I am going to get kicked out of the program...six people just got kicked out two weeks ago so that has really made me freak out even more. I know I can do this and would even like to apply to med school someday or ARNP school but I don't even know how I am going to get through nursing school. I am constantly feeling like any day is my last day there. I need to have confidence...I have never had them talk to me about my grades or anything like that...they are all passing grades but I have no motivation to study anymore and feel like I concentrate too much on the "what ifs" and don't know how to get that out of my head...I have to succeed. I am so scared that I am going to let my anxiety get the best out of me and end up failing out. I can't let this happen. My good friend was one of the one's that got kicked out which is making things even harder. I just feel so alone, new house, my daughter is trying to adjust and I feel like a bad mom because I cannot make it easier on her because of stupid school. I just don't know what to do.
