   Hey there,
   What you are describing does sound like stress or anxiety… possibly depression too. If you can get to your doctors please do, because there are so many things they can do to help you!
   18-19 is a tough age…so many decisions to make, so much pressure about the future. But let me tell you this: YOU ARE DOING GREAT!! Stick at your education to get your diploma. You WILL get a job simply because it sounds like you WANT a job! Its really great that you have the ambition to be a paramedic. Its a tough job but so worthwhile, and it also pays fairly well with lots of opportunities to earn more.
   As to the driving thing…don’t pressurise yourself about this. I didn’t pass my test until I was 22 and it didn’t affect my employment prospects. Ok, some jobs do require a license, but not all of them!
   Its a very natural thing to feel startled when you suddenly realise that your parents aren’t going to be around forever. That is true and a very difficult thing to accept. But what you have to tell yourself is they are here for you now, and there will always be someone who cares about you and wouldn’t let anything bad happen to you. You will move out one day, yes, but there is no rush. I’m sure your parents wouldn’t put pressure on you until you are ready as long as you are trying your best with your education/future careers.
   Basically, all the thoughts you are experiencing are completely normal, but the problem comes with the fact that they seem to be preoccupying you to the point of interfering with your life long term. This is why you need to talk to your doctor and look at some sort of therapy. Anxiety and depression are best caught early – please trust me on this one.
   Now, be proud of your achievements so far and be kind to yourself You are doing great, but sometimes we all need a little help along the way
   EDIT: PS I forgot to say, make sure that you also allow yourself to have some fun in life – go catch a movie with your friends, take a walk or go swimming, try and get to know someone in one of your classes who you’ve never spoken to before… you have to look after yourself not only by working hard but also by kicking back and relaxing frequently too!

   It’s stress and depression. i got it too along with anxiety from other issues. I’m 19 and have job/career issues too. Not in college and don’t have job, and don’t drive all pretty much b/c of past homelessness and i have epilepsy(seizure disorder). Now i have people who let me under their roof and i just have to face the facts along wit some support and maybe meds. Counseling is a great option if u can pay for it.

   Bro, it’s just part of life. Of course it also causes the other three. Anyway talking to your counselor at school about all this. He or she will probably bring up possible solutions for you. Ask him or her about maybe a website to test you on what job you have.
   Find something you enjoy doing, and try to use it as motivation to make it your future job. If you can get motivation to do the work then trust me pal, you’ll be able to finish those classes easy, and do anything.
   Just go to sit your butt down and get it done. If you can do that you have nothing to worry about.
