Hey guys. Just a brief background about me. I’m a 25 year old male, i have a very loving and caring partner (though we are LDR atm), i have a wonderful and supportive family, a business degree, and just got accepted to Nursing school for this July. 

Though everything seems great, why do i feel like I’m setting myself up for failure? I’m scared guys. At my age i feel like i should have done more. I realized my College degree was not the career i wanted in the long run. And somehow found a really huge interest in the healthcare industry, so i applied for Nursing school. I still live with family, and cant afford to move out yet. I love my girlfriend to the moon and back and it’s her i actually want to spend my life with. She understands all the anxiety i have and How much i overthink, yet she still chooses to be with me. 

With that being said, I feel like there’s a lot of pressure on me. My dad is a doctor, my younger sister’s in med school, and I feel like my family just expects me to have everything figured out since I’m the oldest child. I’m scared that i wont get through Nursing school. I’m scared that I’ll never have the means to move out of my home. I’m scared that I’ll disappoint my family. And IM scared of not being able to fullfil all the promises i made to my significant other about the future i want to build with her. My head is about to explode. 😔

Sorry just wanted to rant guys. I also suffer really bad from hypochondria (health anxiety) 😭😭 any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Are there other people here going through some similar situations? Or struggling in your mid 20’s? And to the people that made it through, I’d love to here your stories!!!
