Hello,

I'm a little bit apprehensive about posting this on here, but I realize it's a board of support and that my anonymity will be respected.
I'm a 35 gay male with GAD, depression, BPD, as well as other things. I am an RN who has had trouble keeping jobs over the last years (actually all of my life) because of the above.
I'm wanting to hear advice from any floor nurses about how they deal with their anxiety and working on the floor. I am a good nurse, very smart, good with patients, but I have a hard time getting past that dread of going to work and not letting the anxiety get to me.
I'm where I want to be, and while I will go back to school, I'm not interested in being a nurse in a supposedly less stressful environment.
Thank you all.
