Anyone else having a hard time focusing on their work? I have not been able to get anything done and am generally lacking motivation. Are we embracing this or practicing some coping/opposite action? Where are we at?

I have waves of anxiety but mostly trying to knock out a revise/resubmit and finish my dissertation before starting internship, which have been nice/stressful distractions. lol. That said, when my attention squirrels away, here I am on SDN eating popcorn and valentines day chocolate, of course. Less than 7 days and we can start preparing for the next steps on our journey. Hang in there!!!!!!!!
 
is it possible that the number of sites available in phase 2 will be lower relative to previous years? Some people think so since many sites interviewed significantly more applicants and as such, are likely to be eager to fill their positions in phase 1.

How are you planning on receiving and opening your match email? With family? Alone? With partner? With cohort? With pets? With wine? oh wait.... it will be morning time ☕

I will be at my practicum on that day. II have clients scheduled back to back until the end of the day. Therefore, I probably won’t have much time to process the outcome either way.

Did they?! Oh my gosh. How did you learn that? This makes me wonder if I only got some interviews because sites were interviewing more applicants... a useless thought to have right now but ahhh

They were willing to interview more applicants this year since there was already a higher number of people who applied.

Not an ounce of focus or motivation here...and not exactly trying to fight it🤷‍♀️

Just accepting the fact that I'm not going to be super productive this week. After the insanity of the fall and how hard I've worked throughout grad school, I've learned to just accept sometimes that I'm not always going to get everything done when my mind would like it done.

I was just thinking this to myself. Sitting here, making my daily to-do list and I realized...it is the same as yesterday's because... well, I couldn't concentrate yesterday and I definitely can't concentrate today.

What is everyone doing to push through this anxiety-filled week? How are you all coping?

Working out, de-catastrophizing various outcomes, drinking lots of water... and lots of Toaster Strudel and naps 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

This is what I did and it’s helped so far. Normalizing that we can’t concentrate and just embracing it at this point! Watching the Cecil Hotel and my ole trusty (Dateline). And running the heck out of my dissertation!

Literally, just like that. I have also been just moving all of my To Do list items from one day to the next for the last few days because being this close is so nervewrecking! :nailbiting:
 
48 hours more or less! After several weeks of little nerves or insomnia, l’m suddenly as restless as I was when waiting for interviews to roll in!

I’ve gotten no work done this week 🙁 trying to give myself some grace.
 
Reading all your posts makes me feel like I should be doing something (or procrastinating from doing something)! My schedule has been pretty light all year. All I have is clinical work and dissertation, but I’ve had a lull in diss work and haven’t been doing anything. Imagine what it’s been like to have a pretty clear schedule and have to make up things to do to make the time pass! :scared:

Meh, only thing I'm doing besides you is editing a manuscript I'm a 2nd author on. I am not submitting to conferences this year so I'm not doing my usual January-February abstract scramble.

Feeling the nerves so much! Sending good vibes and best wishes to all. Anybody know from previous years what exact time we will hear via email? I have heard before 10:00 a.m. ET but didn't know if that would be 8, 9:00....?

Looked like it came last year close to 8am EST, I have heard anecdotally that it's typically on the earlier side ahhh

The MATCH NEWS email says we should get an email between 8-9am eastern and if not, the website will display the result at 10.

A (paraphrased) post I remember seeing on last year’s thread: “Someone once said the day before Match Day is like Christmas Eve from hell.”

Merry “Christmas Eve from hell”! 🎄🤣
Cheers to none of us getting a lump of coal tomorrow!

I was lucky that I was extremely busy last week and didn’t feel the days pass by. But this. week. is. crawling. I had a long to do list this week, but because I was working without a deadline, I got nothing done. I need this to be over. Whether this week is crawling or flying for you, I’m sending you all positive thoughts! May the odds be in our favor tomorrow!
 
Hate myself a little for asking but does anyone know what the first lines of the email will say if we matched/didn't match? Clearly my coping mechanisms are insufficient because imagining the anxiety of the pause between when I click the notification and the email actually opens is 🙃

I’ve seen screenshots that start off with “this message provides your results in Phase 1 (etc).

Congratulations you have matched!”

Not sure about not matching though 😐 but that first line is likely the same.
