Anybody else completely unable to just relax waiting for their program to start?
I am 32, been in undergrad the last 4 years and due to begin my MS in CMHC this fall. I'm wrapping up a couple of summer classes right now. I am trying to finish these classes as early as I can since I start my MS literally the day after class finishes. All of my free time, however, is occupied by lurking here and in r/therapists. That, or I'm watching a counseling professor's YouTube channel and lectures. Everything I've been working towards is building up to this fall. It's such a huge milestone, I never even thought that school was for me, but I've got great marks, great time management, all the things.
I just cannot seem to wind my little brain down and relax, and I know that it's going to be a different ball game once the MS starts. I've tried staying busy, I've tried just vegging and watching TV. I kind of have hobbies, but those are kind of on hold since my son starts pre-K in the fall also so I'm trying to get a little more family time in and will pick my hobbies back up in August.
Just looking to identify, relate, and maybe hear about how y'all are/have dealing/dealt with a similar feeling. It's exciting, but there's gotta be a way to turn my brain off, lmao!
