Ok.... I came back from nasty nasty ugly deployment. Found out I am out of remission and so they are forcing me to retire. I started back on chemo and radiation. Just feel lousy. I am so used to taking care of everything and everyone, I really don't know how to love or be compassionate towards myself.

Thank you for your services, I pray my husband never has to hear that out of remission. We will pray for you, stay strong

@mamarunner. So glad that you are back safe and sound and so sorry to hear that you are out of remission. Healing prayers sent your way.

I have the same problem with being good to myself. It's hard when you are emotionally geared to be more empathic to others and put yourself second.

I am to be screened for RA this year as soon as my Medicare kicks in. Current insurance hurls chunks so in the mean time I'm dealing with swollen painful joints and not feeling well and learning to cut myself some slack. Not work so hard, rest, and put myself first when I don't feel well. It is so hard to do when I'm geared to taking care of our home and furry/feathered family first and myself second.

DH told me one day that I'm hurting myself by not taking care of myself and he is right so now I am listening more to my body. Now I take naps in the afternoon if I feel tired and don't put so much demand on my joints. I hate it but it does feel good.

Take care.I'm sorry they are forcing you to retire. Thank you for keeping us safe here at home.

So this is difficult for me to write. I didn't know where to go with this. I've been having a horrible time the past 8 months. I quit my job on April 28th of last year after working at the same hospital for over 6 years. I'm 29 years old. I'm a registered nurse, currently. I am due for my Georgia nursing license renewal January 31st, 2018. I am not sure if I want to be a nurse anymore.

When I quit my job, I went to counseling and started seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist. I saw my therapist religiously every two weeks for months. I paid for COBRA insurance for months. I spent thousands and thousands of dollars for months.

I found chickens after about 3 months. The chickens made me really happy, and it opened my eyes to a different world. The world of permaculture and just generally living for happiness and not consumerism and having tons of things. Experiences, food, and shelter mattered more than it ever did before. It was a paradigm shift, and I struggled and still struggle with how to deal with it. I don't know where to go from here. I don't know what to do. I know that I need to get a job, but I don't want to nurse. Getting back on the hamster wheel, doesn't appeal to me at all, and I don't know how to go about fixing this dilemma I've placed myself in.

I would appreciate any feedback anyone has towards me. I really would. Any constructive criticism is welcomed. I've probably already heard it all from my aunt, anyways. lol

In my opinion only you know what's best for you. Just get out there & find your niche. You never know, maybe try vet care, that might be your passion. Good luck & keep us posted

I would advise you to keep up your license just in case you need it. Maybe you can find a different niche. I quit the hospital and went to doctor office work which was tolerable. Perhaps part time while you save money and decide what you want to do next.

Someone else also recommended that to me today, and I probably should do that. I have paid for the continuing education already, I just need to fill it out and take the test. Then i need to go to the Georgia Board of Nursing and pay my renewal fee, and I'll be good for another two years. Follow through is my kryptonite.
