I just finished up my once-a-session nervous breakdown. It was a particularly bad breakdown that had me sobbing into my keyboard at 10 p.m. Friday night as I finished up an online assignment.
Haha, right! Yeah, I'm totally serious. No exaggerating or anything.
I feel most bad about involving one of my classmates. At the very beginning of my breakdown, I was totally stressed out while doing a group project. Poor guy expected the usual cheery, optimistic Chris and got something that seemed to scare him just a little.
That's the accelerated program. One day, you're taking care of people, feeling super nursey, and the next day you're crying into your keyboard, feeling old and ridiculous. It's the constant demands without any relief. And it's so all-consuming that Steve doesn't even want to hear the word "nurse" anymore. But, as I mentioned in the title, at least the breakdown is over and I can go back to my normal, not crazy self.
At least until the fourth session....

Don't forget there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And in your case a very bright, shiny, happy, successful, rewarding light!
Hang in there. Everybody's rooting for you! Especially me!
Ah thanks. And the light is only 18 weeks away.
