I have always wanted to be a doctor.. to help, to heal ... to save.

I took fall semester off because of my pregnancy and I was planning on returning in January

I have been questioning this decision... keep asking myself.. if this is truly what I am supposed to be doing.. I have never in my life questioned this choice because it is what I have always wanted.

I had a friend tell me recently that she despises her life and her career, I recall 5 years back when she was in love with the road she had chosen to travel.... what happened?... will this be me?... I don't want to end up hating my life, 40 years to late.. feel me. Does this make sense? I'm just rambling...


Am I making the right decision?... I guess that is really a question I should be asking myself eh .. but no matter, how or in which way I ask I get no answer... totally not like me...

I think my friends tragic change through me for a loop

*sigh anyone have any advice for me.. your experience etc.etc. ... I would love ya forever if you did...

Well, I recently jumped from wanting to doing IT to doing Naturopathy.... Where does your heart lie? Is a question you would ask yourself. You like to heal people, yes? If you're unsure about being a doctor, maybe you could move to a different area of healing? Maybe something to think about. Why do you want to be a doctor? Maybe that would help...

Just do what your heart wants to do. Best advice I can give!

mia, i am stunned to see this posted, because yesterday i was thinking about you and i wondered if you would go back to it. just randomly thought this whilst i was in my room !

babe, if its something you have always wanted and like you said never questioned it, i think you would regret not going back. i say stick it out and you will feel so good when you are finally there.
it doesnt matter what has happened to your friends, maybe they didnt have that 100% passion to begin with.

it has for a few years been my desire to start a swimwear business and move into lingere later on. i was on my way to doing this before i got sick. and i plan to continue it and i will not stop until i have it... i will die if i dont do it !!!!

x0x

ahaha I can relate to your passion ... i think your right doll.. if i don't do it i would regret it .... foreva tessekular canim can always make me feel better




thanks for the advice dot ... best thing to do is ask myself why i want to do this ...

What are the ifs and buts that are running through your head?

I think its wise to question your decision at this stage, before making a commitment, especially as it takes long hours of study. However I think if this is your life long dream and you have the ability to do it, then you will find a way to do so.

I think you should look deeper into your reasons for feeling this way, instead of focussing on what has happened to your friend. She has reflected something back at you with her circumstances, can you pinpoint what that is exactly. Be honest with yourself about your aprehensions, to help you make a clear decision.

I hope this makes sense.

I wanted to share this with you (haha now this makes less sense) I saw a Doctor on the Yoga channel who combines mainstream medicine with natural therapies, such as massage, nutrition etc and I think Ayurveda - he has a practice in Harley Street, London (that shows he's done extremely well) - wish I could remember his name, or even the name of this type of medicine - I think its "combined" or something??? - never mind, wanted to share that with you anyway.

thanks for sharing and your advice.. i really appreciate it.. your story at the end is a good reminder.. why i want to do this.. i don't just want to be .. a doctor.. i want to be a doctor and so much more to so many people .. thank you again

For me, I used to always think about me doing art for the rest of my life. Yes, I absolutely LOVE it, and I wouldn't be myself if I didn't do it, but can it make enough money? I went through that, and stressed over it so much that I just stopped doing my art. I felt absolutely miserable without it, like a piece of me was missing. It was a huge loss. So, after a few years of uncertainty, and minimal art, I realized that obviously it's what I was meant to do. I was going through so many other things that I could possibly do to make more money, and nothing fit right with me. I am not yet an artist that makes money, but I realize that it takes a bit more time to get known, and I'm okay with that. I've been wanting to be an artist since I was old enough to draw and comprehend what I was drawing, why stop the dream now? I guess you know what you want to do, and in your heart it's what you want. Do put yourself through the pain of missing out on what you could have done with your life...what you REALLY wanted to do.

as i was reading..i tried to imagine leaving it... it's quiet unbearable.. i don' t know what i was thinking.. i can't leave this.. its in my blood.. my heart my soul my mind.. I had a tiny freak out moment... thanks for sharing...

thank you all for sharing.. has made me realize.. i can never walk away from this.. its my calling

so much love to you.
