FW2 Freak out
Hiii everyoneee. I’m about to be halfway through my level IIB fieldwork. I’ve been feeling super anxious like maybe I picked the wrong career path because I am so stressed all the time.
My last fieldwork was super stressful and I chalked it up to not loving the site and CI, but now that I’m on my last rotation and still struggling/not loving what I’m doing I’m freaking out. I really like helping people, but I feel like I’m not good at this. My level II sites are so different so I thought id like at least one of them- I did outpatient peds through the hospital for my 2A and now I’m in acute care for 2B.
My CI is great and has awesome feedback for me. She says I’m on track but it’s hard for me to accept that because I am so anxious and stressed on the inside I can’t see any improvement in what I’m doing. Not even to be dramatic but I literally cry every day after my clinical. I want to love what I’m doing and I really don’t want to be stressed like this. I just feel so incompetent and overwhelmed.
Please tell me it gets better!! Or if you have any tips for chilling tf out for fieldwork please let me know!!
