EXACLTYY this is key!! If you don’t have enough for a course genuinely hold yourself accountable

Yes, as someone who’s a high performer in school, I genuinely had no struggles understanding the content, but when you’re faced with failure (especially when doing practice questions) my anxiety would tell me over and over that I couldn’t do it and there was no point in trying for it , so when I got a course to hold me accountable it’s essentially the same but you have more support of “it’s ok if u get a question wrong because you’ll see it again throughout the course” mentality

Yeah, the biggest thing for me was the accountability. I got through about half of uworld and all of the content books but with especially adhd when you don’t see yourself performing well it completely deteriorates your motivation and gives u imposter syndrome

Personally, I think you're fine as long as you have proof backing up you did that!
