Anxiety

 Good morning. Happy Saturday. This is going to be a more serious blog post about anxiety. Since I was little, for as long as I can remember, I would get so anxious and nervous about anything and everything. Still to this day, I am the same way. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, I would be nervous, especially at school, and I would be anxious in public places in large crowds. My parents took me to see a pediatrician and I got diagnosed with anxiety when I was in elementary school. It was hard then and now, it’s still something I still battle with. My anxiety got worse last Fall during nursing school and I told my professors and I didn’t receive any help or support except from my clinical instructor. We had tests, quizzes, and skill checkoffs every week and it was hard on my body, mentally and physically. I would not be able to sleep the night before and the next morning I would get sick. My anxiety has improved because I am no longer in the same nursing program, I am transferring. I feel a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I couldn’t be happier.
