Hello, i have posted on here before some time back, i can't even remember what the upshot of it was, i promise to pay closer attention this time, so my situation is thus,
im a care worker and have been for the past 15 odd years off and on, im almost 34, approaching middle age i guess and i have several health problems kind of getting sorted including sleep apnea which i didn't know i had until recently and im being treated for it with a breathing aid machine.
so the point is now i have somewhat more energy for life i am feeling more ambitious, however i also have adhd, im raising a 3 year old child, im pretty far from being an organised person, my life is a mess generally and i feel i am quite a slow learner, also my mental health is far from ideal.
but at the same time am i to just stay on the bottom rung dead end with no prospects forever? i want to try and further myself somehow, ive looked into EMT type work, the course is affordable certainly, i think with enough pre preparation i could get through the course and be a qualified emt but i just think once im out there i might be terrible at this job, the thought of me making decisions in the heat of the moment that might decide life or death for someone else certainly is a frightening one.
are there other career options within the healthcare sector that might better suit me but provide better prospects than what im currently doing?
Im so depressed lately, learning about the human body certainly is interesting and im enjoying doing it as a small hobby, im not enrolled on any course currently, im trying to weigh up my options before i commit to anything, taking things in is slow going though and i often despair at my chances of ever amounting to anything. anyway i realise a lot of this post is self pitying and for that i apologise, also for the terrible grammar i apologise.
