need help
Hello all, I have sort of a unique situation currently. It may sound dramatic and unfitting in this community, but I honestly don’t know where else to turn.
My girlfriend and I are both in EMS. I attained my Paramedic certification about a year ago now and am currently practicing. My girlfriend finished Paramedic school with flying colors, but unfortunately hasn’t been able to pass the NREMT yet after multiple attempts. She takes this extremely hard and I’ve noticed lately she’s been very depressed. Every day is different, but every time she’s reminded of the fact, she becomes very upset and angry. She’s now reached the point where she is afraid to take the test again, but doesn’t know what else she would want to do career wise. I’ve tried to talk to her, one about possibly taking the test again or trying something else. Two, about seeking help for depression. She’s stuck on the first topic and I haven’t gotten an answer. But on the second, she says the only thing that would help her is talking to someone that’s going through the same thing she is. Unfortunately, we do not know any one personally that is or has.
I want to help her, however I don’t know if I can. Does anyone have any advice?
TL;DR : girlfriend hasn’t passed the NREMT and is taking it extremely hard
