Hi TheyCallMeChimi, it is really good that you were able to share the way you felt with your family. It can take a lot to talk about those kinds of feelings and to reach out for support, so good on you, a real sign of strength!!
And it sounds like they're pretty supportive, so maybe pull them in on helping/motivating you to follow your schedule and even adapting or adding to it as time goes along??
And it can take time to get used to schedules.........so one step at a time, yes??
No overstretching yourself, but no underestimating yourself either??!! All in your own time, and go with what feels right for you.
And as for giving up on the goal of nursing..........absolutely don't see that as a failure (!!), it's just like you said.........it just wasn't right for you. And it will be the same for plenty of people without the problems you were having. Different people just suit different things. And you know there will be jobs that different people in the nursing profession think would be way to stressful for them, yet someone who couldn't do nursing for that reason, does with the very minimum of stress.
Just really good that you've been brave enough to stand up so soon and say........there's got to be something better for me out there. And who knows you might end up back on the nursing road or caring road at some point in your life, or maybe not........maybe you'll find another passion that really does it for you. But you've got time, OK??!!
You're still young and there's going to be lots out there to try/to explore.
But right now, it's more about a bit more self-care, getting to feeling better about yourself, and working through the things that have been holding you back and getting support with that.........and I can see you're on the road to that!!
One step at a time............and great goals you're kicking off with!!!!
