I have no motivation

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
hey, I know how you feel. the application process can really devour your soul. Just thought you should know you're not alone.
 
1) Go to the gym. 2) Eat. 3) Stay off SDN. 4) Study.

I am working on #3). I have not had much activity on sdn and I got A's on previous classes. But now I am struggling and it led me to "go online". And I don't have time for anything. If I go eat and go to the gym I will be ready to go to sleep at that point. And then I'll have 4 more lectures out of 16 to do tomorrow, instead of 2. I don't even check on my applications. I don't hear anything from med schools so I just log on sdn occasionally to see if the classes have been filled. Or to see if there is a way to save face for someone who is about to get rejected for the 2nd time in a row.
 
cool story Hansel!
 
the unfortunate thing is that i am VERY addicted to sdn.

i come online, and the first thing i check, is GMAIL (DUH!) and right after that SDN.... and i cant get off it. its terrrible...

u shud go study, but i can totally understand what you mean.
im disillusioned, after being to interviews, i feel that i really want to move on, but i know i still have to finish senior year, and u shud feel that way, its your responsibility.

DO IT WELL! 🙂

(dont be like me and drop 3 courses out of 5... lolz)
 
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do right now to bend the process. You know that not studying is going to negatively affect you, you also know that not going to the gym, isolating yourself is just going to make it worse.......SO since there is really NOTHING you can do about the process, just wait and hope for the BEST. Continue with your life man.

I am a non trad and have a lot of work ahead of me in terms of pre-reqs, gpa and other crap, but lets be realistic. The worst that can happen is you dont get accepted, so what? are you going to die or be depressed the rest of your life? NO!! Everything will be alright, but if not, you have to fight back and reapply and show that indeed medicine is for you! I have been through major depression and anxiety and it sucks ass!

Go out with your friends, family, or just go out by yourself to a Cafe/Bookstore and study there. People will be around and it ll make you feel better.

Write all your fears down, whatever is making you sad, tell someone, write it here if you want but let it out. Live one day at a time keep your head up homie!
 
Right now...GO GET YOUR FAVORITE FOOD/DESERT!

Then, watch a great movie or hang out with your friends!

Then start studying and go to the gym after your test!

Considering you have time for all of these activities...don't be stressed out bro, you'll get into a med school, just keep praying and stop thinking about it. Come Monday morning you will have some goodies in your mailbox. 🙂
