The Gulf

In high school I wanted to go to medical school.  I did start school, but thanks to the symptoms of one of my disorders combined with life's challenges, I am not finished.  I am persistent.  I am several years in on a four year degree.  I am very well rounded thanks to not being able to make up my mind on a major.  Well the major has been set for two years now and I still have two years to go in the coursework I need.  I only had two years then...lol.  Need I mention that I still have a graduate degree to go?  It seems as though who I am and who I really want to be aren't merging too well.  This leaves me feeling so empty.  And it is frustrating.  I feel like kicking and screaming that I can't seem to achieve my goals.  I've forever been working on them and forever getting nowhere besides piled up in student loan debt.  I am starting to realize and feel the limitations of my disorder(s).  I feel more disabled than I ever wanted to admit.  I don't know what keeps me so determined to finish this degree.  I feel like I'm putting myself through hell and setting myself up for failure.  I'm just not sure if I fail this spring at going to school, then it's going to devastate me.  I try not to think about failure, but the past has shown that I have trouble finishing what I start.  And if I put school off anymore, I don't think I will ever finish.

I see me finishing my degree(s) as a ticket out of some of my insanity.  Just getting there is well.....
