However.....I'm sticking around to see what happens. I don't have a choice. I got pretty down in mid-June and had some suicidal ideation, but I waited it out and now I'm glad I did, even though my life situation hasn't improved. You can do it too.....there really is a purpose to your life, even if it's not clear at this moment in time.

Sending you good thoughts and positive energies!
Thanks BipolaRNurse, I'm just so discouraged and absolutely terrified. All I know is nursing, I have no idea what my purpose is. That purpose has been taken away from me like everything else.
