It's getting harder to read sdn, yet I can't tear myself away...

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

Man it's getting harder to come here and read all the ii coming in. I'm happy for each recipient but boy do I want to be one of those. Then there is the "pain" of reading about folks that have multiple invites!
Yet I can't quit coming back. I.must.read.sdnforums. I am truly happy for everyone receiving invites but wow it's hard and humbling to be waiting...
 
I know it's hard, but this is only the beginning of the cycle. The wait will make you go crazy so try to stay busy.
 
I'm with you! It's so hard...My whole life currently revolves around wanting to get interviews..I'm constantly alternating between checking emails and SDN. Going to try to keep myself busy because SDN has only been adding more stress!

Try not to think about it too much. Get in a habit of checking your portal a couple times a day and then try not to think about it the rest of the time. There’s not much you can do till you get an II and you don’t do anyone any favors by worrying.

It gets rougher. I was on a wait-list for ages for a medical school I interviewed at.

Its phenomenal how difficult it is to get in vs. how difficult it actually is.
 
This is exactly how I felt when I was applying. It was like an addiction that only fed my anxiety. Just try to relax for now, especially because it's very early. I don't even think my school has sent out a single interview yet, as far as I can tell. It will happen.
 
You could always ask for a temp lock on your account. You have until March of next year until the cycle is basically done so I wouldn't addictively check it if I were you.

Find a hobby/sport/club/volunteer pursuit that you always wanted to do but couldn't in the meantime and fill all your spare time with that so you aren't worrying.
