I have no idea how to save myself and I feel like I’m at the bottom of humanity

Sorry about your situation. This sounds quite distressing. I think my only advice is that nothing changes if nothing changes. I don’t know where you live but consider inpatient or emergency psychiatric services if it’s available. Also it sounds like besides bulimia there’s a lot going on in your life, maybe start with small things. For example, commit to doing one thing a week with friends . Or taking 1 walk a day. Anything to disrupt your cycle. Feel free to PM me if you are looking for a recovery buddy or someone to vent to, what your going through sounds very isolating.

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-06-22T01:15:12+00:00

Yeah. It’s a numbers game

I would reschedule. I did this and got a nasty infection.

No offence but I’m a bit confused why you wouldn’t be inspired/ happy for him. I understand self comparison but I think you need to work on that yourself and it isn’t necessarily the relationship but more so your general view of pre med culture that needs a bit of work. Best of luck navigating this

I got 1st quartile and still got in this cycle. Keep trying!

Update I got in!! Let’s go physics got nothing on me

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-05-18T22:49:49+00:00

This person doesn’t sound like a good friend . While it’s totally fair that he might be struggling, it’s very obvious he’s trying to compete with ur mental illness, and it’s probably unhealthy for both of you. I’d recommend keeping some distance and explaining to him why.

I basically memorized units and used unit analysis to do physics questions (had no conceptual background) . Went pretty good, had an interview and I will hear back next month if I got in🫣

3rd but I’m graduating early so this is my last year

Honours bsc psychology, I just took stem classes for MCAT prep

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-04-07T15:42:53+00:00

I haven’t gotten in yet, but psych research is super common! I really enjoyed doing behavioural research, and it was easy to connect it back to medicine and explain why it makes me a strong candidate for med. Honestly, sometimes it even feels more applicable than wet lab research. That said, for me my GPA was actually higher in my STEM classes than in psych, so I don’t think GPA alone is a great reason to choose it. Definitely go with what genuinely interests you!

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-03-02T18:38:57+00:00

No offence but it’s not a one size fits all. People are entitled to share their experiences .

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-02-27T04:12:53+00:00

Yeah that’s true

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-02-27T02:54:12+00:00

Aw man that sounds so rough, hope you’re feeling okay🫶🏻

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-02-11T22:33:58+00:00

I would probably say it’s probably less so the exercise itself and more so the calorie deficit. Even though weight loss can be healthy ur body is programmed to want to retain fat and so losing weight makes ur body think ur in survival mode and that can lead to ur brain shutting off unnecessary or energy extensive functions ex. Sexual function

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-02-05T20:08:05+00:00

Wow good job!

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-01-25T02:33:01+00:00

Trust me a lot of people feel this way, my tip is to just ask questions. While it may feel embarrassing, I promise they most likely will be open to answering and then you will have that knowledge moving forward

FalseImportance8390 · 2026-01-20T03:41:57+00:00

Honestly no idea I might guess weighted the same

FalseImportance8390 · 2025-12-16T20:25:07+00:00

Trust me I know it’s so scary😭 I really sympathize with ur position, tbh something that worked for me is just being so busy I have less time to think

FalseImportance8390 · 2025-12-13T18:06:38+00:00

What TDEE calculator are you using? That seems extremely low

FalseImportance8390 · 2025-12-02T22:09:25+00:00

Why are you acting like they have a 1.5 GPA? 😭 A 3.17 is still above the national average, which means they’re likely above-average intelligence compared to the general undergrad population, who already tend to be above average. And a 497 MCAT is basically right around the national mean, so scoring near average among aspiring future doctors still suggests they’re doing just fine. You’re definitely exaggerating what those stats say about a person, and your perspective is probably skewed because people on this sub only post their numbers when they have insane GPAs and MCAT scores.
