Hey, so I've posted a couple of posts about struggling my first year in PT school. It's been miserable. I'm 29 years old, two kids, and a ton of debt and it's only getting worse. Now I'm in PT school, my dream come true that has become a nightmare.
I have no time for my family, I can't get better than a C on any of my kinesiology exams and I'm just squeaking by in anatomy. I'm even seeing a psychologist now because I'm so stressed out and my anxiety and irritability is getting out of hand.
The semester is almost over and I can't wait. I even told my friend that if they do kick me out because I get a C- in kinesiology, I'll feel some relief. I was learning web development and computer programming before getting accepted and I loved that. I hate this.
I told this to some people and I hear "it gets better after this semester." So if I survive this semester, I sure hope it does. I like the career, I've wanted to be a therapist for a long time, and I worked as a tech for 8 years but this semester is crushing me.
Anyways...maybe I just needed to rant to anyone that might respond. I feel like it's just me. I'm the only one struggling (I know that's not true but it feels that way). I'm tired of having anxiety on my way to class, snapping at my family because I'm trying to study, and feeling like an idiot who just doesn't get it.
