I just joined a few minutes ago, logged in, went to forums, and looked at the recent post list. I saw this one and clicked, it jumped out at me like a big red flag!

I’ve always had good intentions and wanted to be in the medical profession. First a Psychologist, then Psychiatrist, then I decided that people couldn’t be helped! Okay, so my thinking has changed as I grew up and know differently. I’m older (46) and have been to college 4 times and still no degree, “I” keep getting in my way and it always falls apart. Pft!

Don’t give up on your dreams of doing something just because one or more things don’t work out. I still don’t know what I should do exactly, but the dream of it exists. You and I don’t know one another and are in similar situations,  eventually “we” will figure it out and decide which path to take. I’ve thought about this for many years and come to the conclusion that “my” time hasn’t arrived and the reason hasn’t presented itself yet. When I have tried to explain this to others it goes straight over their head. I am a firm believer that everything for the most part happens in its own good time and that when you try to force it, it either falls apart or really isn’t what you wanted in the first place.

Don’t know where you are in your classes, but maybe take a semester to take some unrelated classes that interest you? Financially that might not be an option, but if it is, it would keep you in school and might take some pressure off?

Without knowing ( I’m not asking) what your setback was, its kinda hard sorta to give advice or words of wisdom. Personal experience tells me NEVER to stop caring, but its okay to pause and regroup no matter how long it takes. I’m not a quitter, but rather a procrastinator and someone who is easily distracted with too many interests. So my goal now is to narrow down those interests so I can figure out where to go from here. My problem in part is that I do not know where to find help in helping me to decide. I think that is why I am here today. Looking for answers or suggestions.

If you really didn’t care, I don’t think you would have asked/posted your feelings. Maybe you need to write even if its self-centered. I usually tell myself the answer to most problems, what I already knew down deep, by re-reading what I have wrote. That may mean combining txt.doc notes and notes to self on my phone in one place, in an organized fashion and sometimes it can take awhile. Only you can figure out whats best for you in the long run.

I feel your pain with indecisiveness and even though I do not you, I care…
