On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown For My Future

The Story

I will try to share what is in my soul. I am a 12th grade student in Biology and Chemistry. Like most of us, in 7th grade we were faced with choosing the high school where we would continue our education. I am from a small town, but there are about 7-8 high schools from which I could choose, so I chose an "elite" institution and was admitted at first request in a class with Biology. Biology was my favorite subject when I was in 7th grade, and I decided it would be best to enroll in a subject I at least liked. I didn't know that this decision could change your whole life. I have never entered such a class to apply for medicine or to become a biologist and chemist, but as soon as I stepped into high school, all I was expected to do was do exactly what I was told to do - study medicine. Teachers in these subjects put a lot of pressure and said, "Once you've entered this Biology class, you're going to apply for medicine." Biology was my favorite subject in 7th grade, but then I got to know it better and see its darker (complex) side. I quickly realized that these sciences were not for me, especially since I hated Chemistry and Physics (which also go with Bio classes). And when you drive 5-6 hours of Biology a week, you are either very enthusiastic or you like it. Well, I'm tired of hearing about medicine and applying to MU Varna / Sofia / Plovdiv, etc. I don't know how, but I'm also an excellent student in high school, my success is about 5. 60-5. 80, but I would not define myself as smart or that I have a lot of knowledge. I explain my high success by saying that I just know how the education system and tests work, and the rest is gossip. Although I receive a scholarship for excellent success, I feel extremely unsure of my future endeavors. I can't even choose what to apply for. On the one hand, I want to enroll in Journalism, because I think I would like it, but here are the problems -

1. I am afraid of SSC exams in journalism, because I can not express myself properly sometimes,

2. Is there a realization of Journalism?

3. I have the feeling that my score will be very low for this specialty.

On the other hand, I'm drawn to one thing so crazy that I haven't admitted it to almost anyone. This crazy thing is the cinema. Because of the pressure on medicine, I was depressed and often cried and was at a dead end, but movies and TV series saved me from this hole and helped me deal with depression. Is it possible to apply with something I love so much? What stops me is it Fear, fear and fear again. Fear of failure. Fear of deluding myself that I can enter Natfiz at all. I'm even afraid that I might go in, then finish and be there. I don't think I will be able to experience such a failure. I'm afraid to admit this to relatives and friends. Also, studying at Natfiz is more expensive than Journalism, for example, but what can I do when I'm so attracted? But I have no experience, I have never been involved in theater or behind the scenes. (I want to be a director or a producer, not an actor) And there are people in my school who write screenplays, direct plays and play in the school theater, but I have never been involved in this initiative because there has never been an open invitation . Did I say I have a communication problem? I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown and I feel like I'm going to get lost soon. I do not know what to do, what to apply for, and everyone around me is already preparing for their application ... in medicine. :) I hope someone can help me.
