so here is my situation
it just feels like I have not slept or gotten any rest for the past 6 months... I really think its b/c of the stress from applyin for d-school..idk.. but i really hope you guys can help me out..
my story will b similar to lots of ppl here.. like many others, I applied for d-school last year to about 20 schools, i was rejected from all of them. and that really put me down emotionally. I guess is also from alot of pressure from family, i have a brother who graduated from pharm school at 24.. and also seeing most of my friends starting to have stable jobs or even starting a family. while myself is still struggling to even get into d-school at my age (26).
So since being rejected from all my schools in January, I began studying for the DAT everyday.. for about 4 months..i did nothing but study(it was really stressful b/c it was the 3rd n last time i could take it.. so i gave myself lots of pressure).. eventually, i did get a very good score (22/21) .. last year was (18/19)
So i'm applying again right now.. but even with a better DAT score / better application.. Even though I like my chances a lot more this year.. i still cant get it off my mind..I am up until like 3 or 4am every night.. even though i feel tired... i just cant fall asleep!! even when i'm not trying, "getting into d-school" is on my mind like 24/7..
so i guess my question is.. does anyone here have the similar feeling w/ me?..what can i do? is this just stress? or am i on some kind of depression?.. I dont feel like i'm on any "depression".. I dun have n.e crazy thoughts.but its hard not to feel down about yourself when you have a dream that was kinda broken. .. ya know?. I dont like to be relying on medications(to go to bed or anti depression drugs) like many others.. .. so what can i do?
I mean, i admitt I was very down when i was rejected from schools last year, but it made me worked harder .. i was sad about everything else but i never gave up.. I thought life will b all good once i get done with the DAT..but my mind can't stop worrying the "what if". i just really want to be able to just turn it off at night and get some rest..
hope you guys could give me some tips..
