Depression and Nursing school
Hi, So I have been struggling with depression for about 6 months now. I didn't realize it until my husband and some of my co-workers pointed it out in the Army. I am seeking help and am on meds and trying to find a counselor. I have no energy at all I can't even find the energy someday to get out of bed let alone open my laptop. I go to class but I can't focus on anything at all. I am trying to figure out how I cope with school while I am dealing with this and working on myself? Should I let someone know at school? I don't feel like telling all of my professors what's going on when I can barely admit it to myself. I go to Chamberlain if anyone has any resources for them?

Do I stay in or get out ?
I need some life advice I am at a crossroads right now. I am currently a chamberlain college nursing student about to start nursing classes here in a few months. I work full-time on the night shift and I need the money to get by. I am also in the Army National Guard for the last 6 years. I am struggling with if I should stay in the guard or not. The only real reason I want to stay in at the moment is the student loan replacement program. I don't currently qualify for any of the other benefits because of pt. The better part of me wants to get out because I feel like I just can't commit to the Army to be a good soldier at this point. I can't find the time in my day to work out as much as necessary for pt test. I am also really worried about the amount of time the guard has and will take me out of school. I feel like I am being spread way too thin and I don't want nursing school to be the ball that is dropped. I am right at the point where I need to make the decision to get out or stay in. I am also very torn because someday I'd like to go back in with my FNP and be an officer but I am worried if I get out now it will hurt my chances. What do I do? Is there a way to balance it all that I just am not getting? Or should I focus on nursing school and sacrifice for school because, in the end, it is my goal? I'd really appreciate advice from people who have been in my shoes.

Surgery right before school
Yeah the way my insurance works I don't get a lot of say in providers. This surgeon has pushed my surgery back three times and it took two years of trying to convince my insurance by doing all kind of test and medications. My surgeons answer is that full recovery is about 10 days. He is kind of a jerk but its what my insurance covers.
