hey everyone

i just wanted some advice on something, i’m not sure if this is the appropriate place for it either but i’m studying a diploma of nursing currently and for about 3 months now, i’ve just been feeling very detached from it. i have veryyy little motivation for continuing, i’m on campus four days a week and it genuinely feels like i’m on autopilot or something? that feels like the only way i can describe it 😭. i had a practical assessment recently (which i failed) and ended up crying in front of my assessor, it was like an uncontrollable type of cry. it just feels like a wave of self doubt, lack of motivation, and frankly just an overall disinterest in a way? i constantly remind myself of the reason why i started studying nursing in the first place, but as of now i genuinely feel like i’ve made a mistake or something. if anyone has any advice lmk 

thank youuuu :))

Hi cvberwrld,

Thanks for posting.

 I can relate to your feelings of autopilot. Although I finished at university along time ago I remember feeling like I was studying without real purpose. I definitely felt like crying in some assessments, once in an exam I had a full on panic attack. 
There was a counsellor/ course advisor on campus when I was at Uni. Does your campus have anyone you could talk to for some guidance? Maybe you could study part time in the next semester to give yourself some time to find your path.

Your feelings are valid, it’s ok if nursing is not right for you, it’s ok to feel like you have made a mistake, some mistakes in life lead to good things.
