back story:

I've been working on exposure therapy for the past year or so for emet and I've got to the point of watching and listening to fake vomit on TV such as casualty because I know I cant catch a pretend illness through the TV
at 17 I'm being told by a lot of people that I need to think ahead about which qualifications I need for a good career. last year I took a L2 btech course in applied science which was mainly biology based. I love biology particularly the medical aspects which we did alot of and I managed to get 5 GCSE's out of it which brings me up to 10 altogether but no a-levels . unfortunately the course was very full on and stressful with a lot of assignments, which caused my epilepsy and GAD to go out of control again. my parents and student support staff helped me though and I'm good now doing photography this year (not sure why I've never done it before)

Anyhoo, it sounds stupid but what I would really love to do in the future is diagnostic radiography in an emergency department which is obviously going to have a lot of sickness in it. I was hoping that by the time I get round to that I'll be able to deal with it but no-one else thinks I will. The more I think about it, maybe I'm being too ambitious. yesterday I mentioned it to my best friend and she burst out laughing and told me I shouldn't. I don't even know what qualifications I need, uni is out of the question because I cant live independently. OK, sorry the point is, should I keep considering it? or should I just forget it?

side note- I don't usually like thinking further than a few months ahead because this happens^^^ but I know all of this is a long way off and I know I'm over-thinking it and ill probably change my mind but its so confuzzling!!! i apologize for rambling.
