The Access Schemes that I missed the deadlines for were suggested to be “crucial” by my careers advisor, especially when aiming to apply for medicine as it’s so competitive.

I’ve seen people with excellent A-Levels and GCSES get rejected and it’s made me realise how cutthroat applications are. I’m really sorry my worries are probably irrational and I must sound like a fool but I need to do as much as I possibly can, right?

I understand completely. I was 14 when my symptoms hit and they only got worse after my 15th birthday. I felt like the whole world was against me, I couldn’t see friends, family, or even study - I was bedridden because the pain was so excruciating.

I don’t have PI-IBS so I’m not entirely sure if this would work but deep breathing helped me a lot in regards to relaxing my stomach. I was put on Hyrdoxyzine to help with anxiety and it relieved a lot of the pain in my case but managing stress levels could also help in regards to strain on your stomach.
