I applied to trade school!

Some back story: I've wanted to be a Vet Nurse since I was a kid. I've completed one course in 2017 but when I was doing my second course in 2018, I was not stable and I quit 4 weeks before the end of semester and I wasn't credited for the units I passed. In Australia it takes 3 years of full time studying to be a Vet Nurse.


I always thought I would never go back and I eventually stopped dreaming about being a Vet Nurse, and I was completely unmotivated. But yesterday, after 8 months of DBT, my therapist giving me constant pep talks and encouragement and honestly feeling pretty pathetic when someone asks "what do you do? Are you working or studying?" and replying with "I'm looking for a job atm" or telling them my failed career plan, I applied to trade school. I've applied for 4 different things and yes, I applied for the second Vet Nursing course again, but this time at a different campus so I can manage easier, along with Pet Grooming, Patisserie and Commercial Cookery.


I am in a really healthy relationship, my boyfriend has been with me before I got my diagnosis 2 years ago, and he's been my biggest fan through all of this. I'm medicated, committed to DBT for another 4 months, I'm stable, I'm 21 days sober from alcohol today, I am loved and supported and I can do it this time!
