Feeling blue? seriously for the past week or two nothing has been going right for me. All I have been able to do is worry, check my email, go on SDN, worry some more. My boss has been getting on my case due to the quality of my work being sub par (more then usual according to him, a**hole). I had to call my professor 5 times to load up his LOR on interfolio, WHICH HE STILL HASN'T. Me and my gf had a big fight over the weekend due to my crabbiness, now the outlook for us don't look so good (good riddance she was b*** anyways, LOL, I guess thats some good news).

One top of everything else what really pisses me off is I haven't gotten 0NE LOUSY interview invite so far. NOT ONE, which is doing a number on my confidence level. Only way I knew how to deal with this in the past was with LOTS AND LOTS of drugs and alcohol. But since I have been sober for couple a months I don't want to fall back in that routine again. I am considering calling up a psychologist or therapist, but hell I think I can only afford a 10 minute session since I am major broke.

UGHHHH just needed to vent, and see if anybody else out there is feeling the same pain? Anybody?

Feeling you big time...hang in there. Something good will happen.
Just curious, why are you not submitting your secondary to UMDNJ?

 

[LikesScience]

I feel the same way, except I have 2 MD rejections and 1 hold (SIU screeners alternate=rejection) 🙁 . I hope things get better for both of us soon.

 

[theserbatron]

checking SDN too often will get you down when you see everyone else's interviews seeming to "pour" in. so stop that.

just remember that this is early in the decision and that decisions can be made very late. i told another poster about several of my friends, who all got late interviews (both MD and DO programs) and still found places in classes.

I don't really want to pay 90 bucks for their secondary and receive the eventual rejection.

Your right I do need to stop spending so much time on SDN... LOL

I am glad to see there are others out there. This thread is the official support group for the down and depressed pre-med...

If it makes you feel any better ... I think that your MDApp profile looks good, and you chose a good list of schools! Hang in there.

don't stress out about no interview invites so far, we still have A LONG WAY to go

I know this one girl who did her interview in May! and got in 👍

 

[TexasTriathlete]

I am freaking worthless right now. Can't concentrate on class or my training or work or anything.

 

[prionsRbad]

Me too. Feeling totally unfocused at work, don't want to go out, just want to wait around everyday and check my email and snail mail in the hopes that I will get an interview, somewhere, anywhere!

I've been on SDN waaaaaay too much. I don't know why I keep torturing myself by looking at the interview invites thread and the accepted thread.

 

[spicedmanna]

*hugs* to everyone feeling a bit run down by the process. I was where you were a year ago. It defintely sucks, especially with all the "hurry up and wait."

I hope you all hear some good news soon! 👍

 

[fabu1ous]

btw, luv prison break too!!!

But on to your post, really I know there are so many out there who want med school so bad they can taste it... not necessarily a bad thing to be focused, but just have balance my friend. This is not life and death, and even if you do get in, there will be soooo many more milestones to reach that you have to DECIDE not to let yourself get completely consumed.

So what does that mean for today? With my whole heart, I encourage you to ENJOY THE PROCESS. Seriously. If you stress over achieving all of life's major events, and yes I would consider med school one of them, you miss out on the excitement of what lies ahead. Focus your energies into completing your secondaries (the ones not yet complete), and start thinking now on ways to add updates to your apps by Jan, if this even becomes necessary for you. Absolute worst case, you start a year later, because I'm sure you'll get in eventually, so think of it not a matter of IF but WHEN. And when it does happen, and you've allowed yourself to enjoy the process, and keep things in perspective, in the end you will be a happier, healthier, and more appreciative person on how far you've come for what you've worked so hard to achieve.

Best to you!!!

You are doing fine. You just recently became complete at the schools that you are applying to, so do not start stressing yet. The interviews will come this month. Be patient, take it a day at a time, and don't worry so much about other people's interviews/acceptances; everybody's situation is different. Best of luck.

 

[desijigga]

Thanks guys for all the support, I hope all of you who are waiting to hear from schools get invites as well.

(Now if I can just find the stupid remote to turn up the volume so I can watch Seinfeld. The greatest comedy sitcom ever produced on television )

Me three. I'm not even complete anywhere and I'm already stressing. I'm still waiting on my DO letter so that doesn't help the stress any.

Have you thought about becoming a motivational speaker? But seriously you worded that wonderfully and I try to keep reminding myself of that every day. I have a new quote I found that I repeat to myself every day: "Somewhere someone is looking for exactly what you have to offer". I just hope and pray that's true. 🙂

Well I'd figure I should chime in because I have had the worst run of luck these past few days. I'll start in sequence of events:

First, I did poorly on my biochem quiz-Thursday, second I got into a car accident..in my brand new car only 2 months old...and I also got a ticket...apparently in this state (not CA) you can be sleeping behind the wheel and if someone comes into your lane (but doesn't clear the ENTIRE lane before being hit) it's not their fault-Saturday. Secondly, I got a parking ticket (let's not go there)--Monday. Third, I saw a baby bunny get hit by a car on my walk home, it was still twitching in the middle of the road so I thought I would do the decent thing and pick it up and put it under the bushes, I never heard a bunny scream like that before, actually, I never heard a bunny scream--Tonight. Hmmm, don't think I have anything else to add.

[desijigga]

planejane you have come to the right thread.

ditto on what EEL08 said, fabo1ous thanks for putting this whole thing in perspective. It's just so hard to enjoy this process, I will try my best to do it from now on. 😀
