where should i go from here?

im 25 and i live at home with both my parents and two adult brothers. i have lived away from home when i moved to israel for a year and came back when i was 19. since then i have been in the same city college and have not been able to do well in school. my grades have been getting worse and in fact this week marked the second time i have flunked out of the nursing program i was taking there. i just started seeing a psychotherapist once a week who was recommended to me by one of my professors because she thinks that my symptoms sound like depression. but knowing myself and my family life i don't think that sitting around my house will help me. i do have two jobs but both are unsatisfying. i work at walgreens and have asked for more hours because of this winter break which has now become an extended break from school. i also work at a hospital on the weekends as a unit secretary. i was trying to get more involved in the health care system because i am trying to become a nurse, so really i would like to leave walgreens. so basically what im having trouble with is that i really don't want to be at home but don't make enough money to move out, but am also unsatisfied with my jobs. so should i start a new job or look for something else to do in school. the program requirements for the nursing program is that i have to wait a year to reapply and get back in. the thing is that im so embarassed as to having flunked out two times. but i was so close. i only had a year left. i just don't know what to do.

Are you really sure that you want to be in nursing? Maybe you mind is saying yes and your heart is saying no. Take a step back and try to analyze what it is you really want out of life.

What kind of a future will you have without a solid grip on your own self?

If the therapist is attempting to find out if you have depression,what kind of plans can you make today that wouldn't be made from a shaky mind?

Someone in a depression should look for stability before they look to make long term plans such as you are struggling with.

Get some treatment for what is ailing you first(weather it is depression or something else)Then make the plans/goals for the future.

One step at a time.

What do they call it now a days??? .....testing for interests, aptitudes, intelligence, personality....I think you need to get tested to see what is the best area for you to pursue at this point in your life.

Good Luck!
