Situation is that I recently moved into a firehouse as a live-in program and its going great. They tell you when first move in that you need to take the emt-basic course and pass it on order to stay in the program. I said OK so I started the college year working towards a fire science degree and emt-b worked into that schedule (also taking it at the school) so I take the course and I pass everything, I pass the national registry after spending half my christmas break staying at the station in order to study in peace and quite. My pracical exam (handson) for the state is tomorrow and I'm sure those will go fine. Basically I've been feeling stressed that I won't pass and if I take some time off that I am not totally dedicated to the program. Never less the fact that there is another member who just pisses me off. Point is I need a way to relax because I'm just burnt out. I will refuse to admit it in person but I feel like having strangers who also might be in the fire service might be able to help me out. I'm burnt and I can feel it in my body and head. I've never been much of a relaxer or partier, always been a worker.
Thank you for uour suggestions

The best thing to do is just to get your mind of it I once got a stress control type of candale and I tried to take my mind of things it kept me really calm.. They say chew gum 15 minutes before.

Take some time outs. When's your next chance at a vacation? It's always good to get away from town for a bit to help clear your mind.
