Am I low IQ or is it just my anxiety?

[Anonymous]

I work as a patient care tech, and when I started everyone said how good of a job I did

I work with nurses in the hospital, I feel like a kid. I'm 25 and they are so educated and these nurses are gorgeous and have their lives together. I'm truly jealous, I keep myself busy cause im just here to work and go home. I am not buddy buddy with them cause they are my workers, I do my own thing unless they need help or assistance. I'm not really sociable I've been here for 3 months I'm new to the hospital setting. I sometimes dread coming in, I always check with the nurses before giving food especially to the fluid restrictions and diabetics because I have no clue lol. I'm sure they think I'm dumb but I was okay passing the CNA exam. I often worry, and cause of my anxiety I mess up. But I want to be more assertive, I wouldn't let someone push me around. I feel so depressed and sad, I'm worried I have low IQ. I do stupid things sometimes but I always try and learn from it. They legit are happy on their own, have their own homes, fiances. They got everything. I can't find anyone unless they are wanting me for sex. I'm so lost, do I have low IQ? Is it just my anxiety?

Stop believing that someone who owns their own home and has good finances means they are happy because sometimes people fake smiles and fake happiness. Look at actor Robin Williams the entire world thought he was one of the happiest people ever, he also was worth millions of dollars and he owned his own home and he was loved by millions around the world but behind his smile and those jokes and his millions, he was depressed and sadly he took his own life.

Well I'm depressed even though I don't have any of this lol.

I too am depressed but I am also very aware even the wealthiest people on earth and people who own multiple homes can be depressed. You can't compare your life to theirs especially when you don't know who that person is on a personal level to know if they are truly happy or not.

It’s you having anxiety. My mom is a nurse and she is stressed on a whole other level. Being a nurse is not an easy job at all. You are on the outside looking in and that’s why you think it’s perfect and easy. There’s times where my mother works 17 hour shifts as a nurse. They may have their looks well put together, but I’m sure they get their asses handed to them on a daily basis.

Totally believe it. It's a stress filled job.
