You sound a lot like my wife. She’s told me stories of actually throwing up on the way to school she was so stressed. She eventually was able to conquer most of her fears and get through pharmacy school, but it was long painful trip. Glad to hear you seem to have worked it out.
I feel like my entire life I had a sword hanging over my head...except for my four year hitch in the Navy! (There, the sword was always hanging over someone else’s head, I just took the orders and ran with them...:)
Every day is gravy for me...:)
I got out of school...best day of my life.
I got out of college...best day of my life.
I finally retired and got out of stressful work with deadlines and projects...best day of my life!
Like I said-it’s ALL gravy now, FRiend!
