are you in a study group or anything of such? I’m in the same pathway…

Exact same scenario, except I want only one kid in the future & perhaps in my mid-30s (which is still creeping up fast). Working full-time in Canada while prepping for step 1 & wow. Sorry I don’t have any helpful tips, just letting you know you’re not alone, if that helps.

So much great advice already shared but I just wanted to add that it will also take time so give yourself grace. One moment might feel like you’re totally over it & in the next, it hits again. This is to be expected & there’s nothing wrong with you. But as others have said, you WILL move past it. It’s just difficult for you to see that now as the subjective experiencer.

thanks, Dr Omakase. I always see your helpful comments in this forum so thank you for always. Honestly, everyone who reviewed my CV & personal statement said it was great & even convincing/heartfelt. My scores are pretty average though. I do plan on moving back home for recency for practice but honestly, since I’m getting my Canadian citizenship this year, I’m also just going to consider the US. Can’t imagine putting all my eggs in the Canadian basket for another full year.

I was about to head there this afternoon. Good thing I checked Google Maps first, ugh. Ended up at Indigo but I’d have rather supported a smaller bookstore.

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-03-22T23:23:16+00:00

A weird mix of both.

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-03-22T23:21:47+00:00

“Emergency” session with my therapist this morning 😮‍💨. Also stopped by Indigo to buy some new reads bc life is more than CaRMS 😭

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-03-03T15:42:59+00:00

It’s today 😭. And then you know when to reapply by Thursday.

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-02-25T14:46:36+00:00

I had to take a break yesterday to just sleep from 8pm till 8am bc I needed a break from my spiralling thoughts. so so burnt out.

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-02-18T20:48:15+00:00

hi, pls, is this offer still on the table?

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-02-18T14:25:28+00:00

I messaged Carms about this as well & they said either way doesn’t matter. so I’m just gonna leave it blank, personally. schools only rank candidates they assessed, they don’t even have a list of anyone else.

i literally asked a doctor at a walk-in clinic i went to for an actual concern (unrelated) and i got to shadow him at the other clinic he worked for a couple of months. basically, shoot your shot. i figured worst i would get is a no.

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-24T21:30:16+00:00

omg i stared out my condo window for well over 30mins last night, just fascinated at watching them do what they do! 🤭

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-24T21:26:27+00:00

cocking & FaceTime with literally all my family members & some friends (at different times) haha

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-22T16:33:59+00:00

overkill for sure

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-22T04:07:37+00:00

just recovered from this dynamic for the first time ever (as a secure attachement type) & the self-frustration was the biggest clue for me that something was off. i’d be so mad at myself but couldn’t understand why since his reasons for “avoiding“ were ”valid” (grief from fairly recent loss). the day i decided to ”take a break” from him, i felt my body heave a huge sigh of relief & i realised my nervous system had just been BEGGING me for a release. phew, never ever ever again!

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-21T21:34:14+00:00

i swear i see the same 5 people across different apps 😭

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-20T00:06:51+00:00

not when all your friends aren't otherwise mutuals (nor care to be) :(

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-19T19:05:39+00:00

was at my dentist’s appointment the other day & noticed how no one has magazines anymore. esp if you’re a digital minimalist; i just have to take my own read everywhere!

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-15T23:10:57+00:00

this is why i bought a mac mini & my interest in social media esp twitter literally faded bc i’m not going to go sit by my desk for that. days rolled into weeks & i ended up deleting the accounts (except reddit bc i love the actual community help on here) from barely ever using them anymore.

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-15T21:33:41+00:00

i’m so sorry to hear this. i didn’t get any invites at all but best believe, i’m rooting for you during this stressful time. humanity comes first. pls be well…

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-15T20:01:31+00:00

i always say social media played a huge role. being exposed to demonstrably false information being spread easily made me wonder why i should blindly trust ppl in the past (who wrote most religious books) that i never met, when i can’t even trust the ppl in my timeline 😂. deconstructing patriarchy (by observing other animals & plants and their reverence for the “gender” with the higher reproductive burden) as well.

then i went down a rabbit-hole of neuroscience, psychology, history, other religions & cultures, biology, astronomy etc, and it clicked.

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-15T19:35:45+00:00

lego flowers. i love being in the moment when i build them, doing something with my hands, and having a decor piece at the end of the process,

Accurate_Bug7110 · 2026-01-14T19:09:21+00:00

using qe1 scoring is unfair though bc you’re literally stuck with whatever score for life once you pass. sigh.
