keep going! learn from your mistakes this time around and do better next time. its really not the time to leave medicine all together, because everyone struggles with the time managment issues (esp. in the beginning) so hang in there.
good luck tomorrow and hit those books!

I know how you feel, I'm in the same boat more or less. I just failed my biochem and Anatomy exams, and I have to wait till Feb, to give them. Until then all I can do is sit at home and study.
Its really a **** situation, but the only thing you can look forward to is that light at the end of the tunnel, you know. What keeps me going now is that I know how 'easy' or easier life will get (atleast for some time) after I clear in feb
When you're thinking of letting go remember why you held on for so long man.

Keep on fighting, there's always hope. Keep the spirit up, a downfall in your fighting spirit is not a good thing you know.
Try to relax, then you'll learn better, and shut off entertainment systems and don't visit friends that often. You'll be fine I hope.

Talk to faculty and tutors in your school to see what help is available to you. You need to be proactive in seeking help. Do not wait until you are in deep trouble. Get help now!

This is certainly good advice. Trying to get ahead of the next test and seeking help early helps in the long run. Not only can you help stave off future problems, but it also can help if you do end up having difficulty passing. For instance, when someone fails a course at our school, they may have to go before the promotions committee - and if you can show that you've been trying to be proactive, it really helps your case. Hopefully, your school has good resources for tutoring, as well as academic counseling services.
The other issues that you mention (depression, anxiety) should also be address. Surely, it may just be situational. But, if you do have these types of mental health concerns, they could be strongly contributing to your academic difficulties. Again, it's better to seek help early before they become overwhelming.

Don't give up if medicine is what you want to do. Many people told me I would never make it because during my first major (not pre-med), I failed a class, and also received a D in a mathematics course. When I returned to school to take pre-med, I was told by my pre-med advisor, I would never get in. Well, he was wrong. But, it was because I kept fighting.
Don't stop fighting for what you want to do. Don't listen to others, and work hard. Only you will know when it is time to rethink your career decisions. Good Luck. I feel for you.

Yeah, my first year has been a real wake-up call for me.
No more bright, optimistic, doe-eyed pre-med here.
I have definitely under-performed on my first exams and the second round isn't going great, either. I have been time-managing and studying hard so I'm sure you know how bad of a let-down this can be. But I resolved to just develop a thick skin and press on, not being phased by anything. When the semester's over, I'll look back then and take care of the details.
But until then, my job is to just keep doing the best I can do, and not let this crap phase me. I'm never quitting, and I know you won't either - keep it up!
