It's not nursing school that's the cause of most of my stress, It's just part of it. I've been in college for different majors for 7 years. I love school and its usually a distraction to me. Holidays are a big trigger for me. Two years ago I had an ectopic pregnancy got evicted and my husband lost his job right before the holidays. Last year we lived with his brother and girlfriend and they threatened to kick us out right before Christmas. This year I have major surgery five days before Christmas. I have my oldest brother living with us who is schizophrenic and relies on me for everything. It's like I have another child. Then my oldest has sensory processing disorder and this year is the first year we're having to deal with the treatment and therapists on top of constantly working with his school.

I look forward to school. It just is a coincidence that I messed up at school last week. Usually it's the one thing I feel I'm good at.
