Re: What do I do??? Opinions please!
You gave it a shot in the medical field, if you couldn't handle being a medical assistant because of your anxiety then perhaps it's not for you. I am going to nursing school and I wonder everyday if I'm going to handle it. I am very afraid to go through clinical only to discover I can't handle it. Trial and error, you don't know what you can handle until you try first. Maybe if school is an option for you or you have enough experience you could try medical receptionist? You have to have general knowledge of the medical field along with customer service skills, computer skills ect. There are other options out there for medical assisting, you don't have to work in such a dramatic place like a hospital or health department. There are many small quiet doctor's office settings, home health care, medical spas ect. I think if you feel more comfortable working at a retail shop there is nothing wrong with that, each job is going to have its pros and cons. Maybe you should take the job until you can find another job in the medical field that is more comforting to you. There is no need to rush, any job you take will be a learning experience and will test your strength. Good luck, let us know which way you decide to go!
