Ever since I can remember Ive sensed weird things very spiritual mostly in cementeries and hospitals. I dont have any issues with cementeries. I wanted to become a a doctor but I couldnt I felt like working in a hospital would drive me crazy, I was scared of not being able to deal with it. I decided to settle for what everyone thought I should study, art. Im on my third year and I do like it though I often feel like i made the wrong choice like I just settle for less for something others thought was right. I am depressed pretty much everyday of my life everything that reminds me of medicine makes me cry. I dont know what to do.

    Alternative medicine could work for you if traditional hospitals freak you out..
    Recent development of new age stuff ( yoga, herbals etc) could lead to a different career path if you so wish..
    Or a change in psychology may be more to your taste? Mental health is often regarded more important than physical health ( though not in extremes ).

    You don't have to work in a hospital to practice medicine. Maybe you should think a little more about your options since you are so unhappy. It may mean a little more time in school, but you can always change you field of study.

    you should go out and explore the world, who knows it might give you new inspiration. you proubly love art but are just strugleing with new ideas, try simple things such as takeing a walk, opening curtains, or even catching a bus. i belive sceanery changes every thing. get better soon!

    Yes it is normal to settle for a different career. People chop and change with their choices all the time. But that is only because they don't like thier job. This could be due to Stress, Low Pay, Overworked.
