Hi everyone!
I have posted on SDN quite a lot within the past week but I could really use some help right now. I am a DO student with a lot of red flags, including two failed preclinical courses (passes w summer remediation), a recently failed comlex level 1 that will make me graduate a year later due to retake LOA. I feel so defeated.
I know that my retake should be number 1 priority and I can’t change the past but I feel like even if I kill my retake, do really well moving forward, there is not much hope left for me. I absolutely hatee this feeling because I want to feel motivated and excited about my future or feel like there might eventually be an end to this darkness but I feel like I dug myself into such a deep hole. It’s the worst in the mornings when I’m trying to start my day and reality hits me about alll the things I messed up in med school. I am talking to a professional about my issues right now because I feel like this negativity is what has been causing the constant failures and it needs to go, but was just looking to see if there are any fellow students/residents/docs that have any advice about getting this feeling out? If I get my act together, do i still have a chance at matching (just thinking primary care!)? Just looking for a light at the end of the tunnel to help me out. Thank you 🙂
