Hi, so, this is my first time trying this website. But I've got a really heavy heart and a really exhausted mental state so I just want to let this feelings out. I have friends, sure. But not in a kind of relationship that I trust them with everything. As a first year nursing student, I've done a lot to get to where I am today. It's not that far, but I think I should have at least a little pat on the back for the achievements I made. Im the president of a whole section, and it's honestly mentally draining. I first brought up this event; capping and pinning, to my parents. And to my relatives. Because my parents can't attend, they're working abroad. I had no choice but to ask my relatives, but the way they say "Just ask ____ to go with you instead" makes me feel like this event—that proves I made it this far when others weren't able to—made it feel small and insignificant. Like it's not important to me. Told my parents about it and they just downplayed it. I feel really... really sad.
