Sounds like this year is the worst.
Think of it this way: you’ve not only made it, but succeeded, in 4 years of high school, 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, 3-5 years of residency depending on your specialty. And now you’re halfway through your first and worst year of fellowship. That’s 1/16th of what you’ve been through already! You’ve had the fortitude to make it this far, you definitely have what it takes to survive the last leg.
if you’re lonely, use FaceTime. When I was in fellowship I was long distance w my husband for the entire year. I used to FaceTime him in the evenings and just keep the thing on as I went about my night, so the FaceTime would be on as I sat on the couch reading, and it kind of felt like he was nearby even though he wasn’t. If you have a family member or friend who is willing to do that, try it. (Just make sure you’re charging as you do it as it drains battery real fast).
