Should I become a doctor

All my life I've dreamt of being a doctor, more specifically a general physician (GP). As a child I was obsessed with health, always got doctors kits. Growing up I started to study people, health and diseases, medicine. I'm almost 26 and I feel like time is running out for me to do this. I know I'm still young but it takes years of study and I've got the ASD and anxiety that could ruin this for me. Both do seem to cause me a lot of difficulties and challenges in my every day life and three years ago I had mentalhealthproblems. I really want to do this but I don't know whether I should go for it not. My family don't offer a lot of encouragement or support.

My dream is to become a GP and have my own practice. This is my dream, I've already bought a few bits of kit, like a bag,  stethoscope, just to keep the dream alive.

I feel like I could do it but my head says no. I'm stopping myself but I don't know if I'm right or wrong. 

Please help. I could do with your opinions on this.

    Yes.....you should chase your dream (presuming that you have the requisite academic ability for the extensive studying and learning.) It is a bit of a no-brainer to me because your dream will also deliver all the boring and mundane things that we also need to thrive and survive.

    Like you say, time is short......get on with it!

    Offering you my very best wishes
