Hi. I'm Dx Bipolar 1 and OCD. I respond very well to treatment. But I'm about to learn the meaning of stress.

I'm about to start a class in which I will be learning to be an EMT. If I pursue this as a career I will be exposed to the unimaginable. Blood, guts, death and dying.

From what I understand, it's an insanely stressful field in which people's mental and emotional limits are tested.

Any advice?
