Should I become a doctor

Zazious

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.

  • I think you should try. You might end up regretting it.

    I will tell you, as a child I was (and still am) health obsessed. I did want to be a GP. It wasn’t a dream, but it was the job I wanted. I had no push from parents to go to university, and I was so quiet at school, I did not dare to attend Sixth from, let alone anything else. There were too many issues to get around.
