I am once again deciding that I will be receiving an acceptance email/call of one of my waitlists by the end of the week

Just to throw my name in the coping bucket, I have not been getting sleep the past few nights, eating less, and losing weight. I have never experienced such a rollercoaster of hope and despair until this application cycle :arghh::arghh::arghh:
Are you me? I get nauseous every morning at the prospect of another day of silence :arghh: my only coping mechanism is playing 6 hrs of TOTK every day the moment I get off work LOL
 
Also 🕯️🕯️Daily manifestation that I will get an acceptance call from my WL school this week! 🕯️🕯️PLS god I’ll convert to literally any religion if that’s what it takes
 
how are you guys coping w this fr-- all I want to do is curl up into a ball and lay but here I am being useless at work with raging anxiety and depression i really do not wish this on anyone ever 🙁
I’m not coping well at all lol. Can’t enjoy my hobbies, can’t focus on my lame job, can’t go to bed on time, can barely wake up anymore, can’t enjoy my relationship with anyone because my med school outcome is the only thing they care about.
i started running (which I haven’t done in years) to let off some steam (and tears)
 
sitting at my undergraduate school I graduated from 3 years ago, preparing to reapply. Staring at the trees, thinking about how time just keeps passing by. I want to cry thinking I have another year of this. Praying I get off the waitlist.

I've decided that I will be receiving an acceptance call/email from my WL school by the end of this week!
 
I know I’ll receive an acceptance call from my top waitlist school by the end of this week!

Seriously so heartened but how much support and empathy I see in this community. I just got called ungrateful by a family member for holding out on my WL school despite an acceptance at another school I’m less keen on. As if I wasn’t confronted with how miraculous any acceptance is literally every minute of every day. Sometime it feels like other people give up on us before we’re ready to give up in ourselves.
 
Hoping on this Manifestation as the first time I did it not seriously.

I have decided that by the end of the week I will be receiving an acceptance from one of my two waitlisted to get my first A of the cycle 🐐

I felt this so hard. I am absolutely miserable... The way my mind is set up, it is just torturing me for being in this position. Because maybe if I had worked harder, I wouldn't feel so stuck, lost, useless. I'm trying to study for my MCAT retake with this mentality, but my mental health is so fragile right now so even doing that when I have the intention to is damn near impossible. It feels comforting to know that I am not the only person feeling this depth of sadness
