Anxiety
My anxiety seems to be increasing and it's making me anxious just thinking about it!
I don't know exactly when this started, I've always had some level of axiety, but right now it feels like it's increasing. But I know it has alot to do with my future. Today I started to panic over school. I has applied back in the fall to a community college that required a particular class be taken at their school before applying to either dental assisting or dental hygiene. No problem. Then I tried to register for the class for spring semester. Big problem. Both sections were full with full waiting lists. Okay, so I moved on and continued to take some other required courses that will eventually go towards a hygiene program. I also applied to a different CC (MCC...the one I am taking classes at) for their dental assistant program. It's been more stressful than anticipated because none of my transcripts had been recieved. But after a few days, I finally got it settled out and now they have all required info. So, I wait.
Today I got to thinking: "what if I don't get in? I'm screwed." So, I started to think about that other college. The admissions guy had mentioned that the assistant program never fills up and they have two to three application deadlines. I thought I could register for the class I need and apply to the program if any spots were still available. Registration begins on Monday, so I thought I could register and if I got in to MCC, I could just drop the class. I emailed the adm guy and after a few intense hours of waiting, he replied that the program was full and most likely wouldn't be another admissions deadline.
Now I am back to waiting. And it's driving me insane! It's creating such anxiety in me, and I don't know how to handle it. This is also compounded by the fact that I want to have a baby. But I can't because I wait.
I don't know what I'm asking for really. Advice, virtual hugs, I don't know.
Re: Anxiety
I can do hugs
I am not so good with school advise, When I applied to colleges, I got into a fantastic school with a fantastic program but then I couldn't afford it, I went to CC and hated it. I was taking night classes and it didn't work for me.&nbs
I don't think I can help with advice.. I am way too intimidated by the process to even start, so I totally admire you for doing this
I can definitely offer virtual hugs. You're really doing an aw
