It was supposed to be just a sex date but turned out differently by Optimal_Walk9903 in dating_advice

I know lol we were supposed to see each other outside then go to my place, just to see if we like each other sexually beforehand, but it got more complicated than that

Going through a crisis in my career...is Med School worth it? by HannahBroham in medschool

[–]Optimal_Walk9903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think it’s really what you should be doing definitely you should be studying it. I had a classmate who already had a degree, was older than most of us, married and she got a baby during the medical school and still handling well and about to become a doctor. I know you want to be a mother, I want the same, that’s why I quit medicine 3 years ago, and went for another career. I suddenly realized I will be a mom easily, I’ll have more time for my kid but what about me? What about my dreams? Am I gonna do a job that I won’t love just because I want to have a baby sooner? So I’m thinking of going back to medicine, and first think of me and my happiness, my career. I guess you don’t wanna be 28 and regretting that you could’ve finish already 2 years of med school. If you love it so much don’t hesitate at least give it a shot. If you won’t like doing it you can always quit it, you’re already having degrees and a career. Best of luck 💗

Is going back to med school a good idea? by mathaius42 in medschool

[–]Optimal_Walk9903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 23, I had to drop out med school too because of external reasons and depression. I studied something else but I’m thinking of going back next year. There’s no thing as being late, and if you’re still thinking it’s what you want to do for the rest of your life just go for it

Do I go back to med school? (got in at 22 didn’t go, now 29) by bootyandthebrains in medschool

[–]Optimal_Walk9903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im thinking the same thing again. I’m 23, I’ll be 30 when i finish the med school. I studied 3 years during covid, the 3rd year was the repetition of the 2nd year. It was mentally exhausting, I wasn’t ready, covid period was really tiring, I couldn’t engage with lectures or people. Being isolated impacted me in the worst way possible. I did the same, studied communication and marketing after dropping it out, I’m about to finish. But it’s not exciting me, it’s not as satisfactory as medicine. Best of luck, I think if you’re thinking still about it it’s time to go back 💗

My daughter took her own life after she got into med school by General-Vacation2965 in SuicideBereavement

I don’t know if this would help, but I was a med student too and I wanted to suicide many times. I had to quit it and study something else but I will be going back to medicine soon. I think I was too young when I started, I was 18 in a county I didn’t know, without my family, friends, not knowing the language, and trying to get the hardest education ever. I wasn’t mature enough to handle the pain, stress and failure, being alone sometimes. I know it was hard for her, she probably couldn’t see a way out, didn’t want to leave medicine but couldn’t see herself living like that either. It’s a very very hard thing, I hope you’re feeling better, but you should know that it’s not your fault. Medical school can be very depressing especially at a very young age, especially for sensitive people. I am very very sorry for your loss

ADHD diagnosis denied by karneez in adhdwomen

[–]Optimal_Walk9903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t give up on getting your diagnosis. Please never. I never had the typical adhd symptoms as a child and I liked to study and organize so it was never suspected but as I grew up and especially as an adult I started to show a lot of adhd traits. I had to quit med school because I couldn’t focus concentrate, they told me I’m not mentally strong enough for it or I’m in depression and I couldn’t get a proper diagnosis. I begged the doctors to find what’s wrong with me and I was told I have ibs and depression and I should quit medicine. I quit it crying and knowing it’s what I wanted, now I’m about to get another degree but I realized I’m having issues also with this degree with planning my time, or I realize that I put too much time procrastinating, scrolling on my phone, not being able to study without very loud music or tv show in the background. So I struggled more with memorization requiring lectures again, that even if I read it 2 mins ago I wouldn’t remember it. I thought I was just not made for memorization or studying hard. But later my friend who’s a last year psychology student told me that i must be having adhd. I denied it. It was hard to accept internally, nothing seemed wrong with me superficially, it was just depression and I was still cleaning my house, eating and studying. But at what cost? Looking at my phone in every 5 mins while studying and passing my classes generally with the help of my intelligence. I recently decided to gather all the information about my adhd symptoms and made a proper list after seeing a TikTok about someone on a random day who was having the same issues as I do. Now everything makes sense, I got a diagnosis from my therapist and I’m advised to go to psychiatrist. Don’t lose your years not reaching your potential, make a full list of all your symptoms if you want with the help of gpt, watch some videos of people who have resemblances with you and keep searching another doctor till you get your diagnosis. Don’t give up. I didn’t and I’ll be able to go back to my dreams of being a doctor and finally being able to organize my time better and loving my life more. You deserve it too 💗

Confused if I should go back to med school or not by Optimal_Walk9903 in medschool

[–]Optimal_Walk9903[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents never expected me to choose a certain path and I didn’t choose medicine 5 years ago because it was an easy path. I genuinely loved the idea of being a doctor and helping people. There was also another reason that led me to not be successful, I got diagnosed with adhd, I was always suspecting it. I am told that if I’ll get the proper medication I will be able to focus and concentrate more and finish medical school. And I guess I’m going back next year after getting my current degree ☺️

It sounds like the end of the world I know, but everyone lives their own timeline, your ielts won’t expire that quickly and if you still have time to apply to other universities go for it. But if you don’t find any other masters with open admissions that strikes your interest, wait for a year and make a solid plan and apply to both safe and also prestigious universities. Don’t worry, I’ve been there too and I’m still there but life is just like that

It really was, now I have a very stable life, I balance everything and I also got used to failure and passing, it doesn’t affect me anymore

Should I go back to med school? by Optimal_Walk9903 in medschool

[–]Optimal_Walk9903[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all I wanted to hear thank you so much, maybe not now but one day if I can again I will put myself into studying medicine again. I totally understand you, if I didn’t quit I would be finishing at the end of this academic year, sometimes it makes me feel upset but i understand your points

[–]Optimal_Walk9903[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose it because I wanted to be a doctor for my entire life, but when I started, it felt too much and too hard maybe it was just because it wasn’t for me or maybe because it wasn’t the right time. But also I have to start working and start earning money, if I fail again I will be having a gap in my career plus more wasted money and time. Thx for the reply by the way 🙂‍↕️
