Dear @user8334
Hi there, thank you so much for opening up and sharing how you feel. Please know that it’s not strange at all to have doubts. It takes courage to talk about the struggles you’re facing, and I want you to know that you’re not alone. Many of us go through similar doubts, even if we don’t show it.
It’s completely okay to feel worried about your results or to overthink things — it just means you care, and you want to do well. And the fact that you improved your GPA last semester already shows that you’re capable of growth, even during tough times.
I also hear how challenging it is when you’re in group situations or meetings. Feeling nervous or not good enough can be really draining. But I want to gently remind you: you chose nursing because you wanted to help others. That goal is special — grades or moment of self-doubt can’t take that away from you.
You’re studying something impactful and meaningful, and you’re on a path that many people admire but few are strong enough to take. When it gets tough, try to hold onto the reason you started. You’re not just doing this for marks, you’re doing it to make a difference in people’s lives.
Also, please consider reaching out to your school counsellor. It can help to have someone to talk to, especially when the thoughts become overwhelming. You’re not weak for needing support, it is only human.
Take it one day at a time, and be gentle with yourself. You are doing your best, and that’s more than enough right now. Keep going, you can do this. Keep reaching out whenever you need to.
Hi @user8334, sorry that you’re going through so much stress in Year 2… remind yourself, no matter what the grade, you can try your best to improve it again. You have another semester to try again. Do you have tutors or seniors to help you with studies?
Do you mind sharing about the people you mentioned at the end? They sound like toxic classmates. I hope you manage to find good friends, and surround yourself with good people who care about you.
Take it one step at a time, and keep trying your best.
Feel free to write here anytime, we will be happy for your success, and give a listening ear if you need.
Hey @user8334 ,thank you for opening up about what you’re feeling. I can tell this is weighing heavily on your heart. It sounds like you’ve been working so hard to improve, especially after a GPA you weren’t happy with, but still carry a lingering fear that you might not be good enough. That’s such an exhausting cycle, isn’t it? The fact that you’re anxious even during large group meetings, imagining you’ve done something wrong, says a lot about the pressure you’re under - and the way your thoughts seem to spiral even without clear triggers. You deserve compassion, not judgment, especially from yourself.
I’m also sensing something deeper here, though I’m not entirely sure what’s fueling these thoughts - especially the part about believing people would be happy when you fail and upset when you succeed. That’s really painful to carry around, and I wonder if something happened that made you feel that way?
There’s a lot of emotion wrapped up in these fears, and even if the context isn’t clear yet, what is clear is that you’re not alone. You’re trying, you’re improving, and you’re still pushing forward despite everything swirling in your mind - that’s strength right there. But it would be good if you can provide a bit more context on what “content 190” means!
Thank you for sharing this. It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of self-doubt and anxiety right now, and I just want to say: your feelings are valid, and you’re not alone. Many students struggle with overthinking and fear of failure, especially in a demanding course like nursing. The pressure to do well, comparing yourself to others, and feeling like you’re not “good enough” can really take a toll on your mental health.
It’s okay to feel nervous or unsure. What you’re experiencing doesn’t mean you’re weak or incapable. In fact, the fact that you care so much already shows your dedication and strength. But please know that your worth is not defined by your GPA, or what others may or may not think about you. You deserve kindness, not just from others, but most importantly, from yourself. If these thoughts are getting too heavy, talking to someone like a school counsellor could really help. You’re not alone in this, and you don’t have to go through it all by yourself. You are doing your best and that’s enough:)
