In medical school, you're usually struggling with at least one:
📚 Academics
💸 Finances
🧠 Mental health
❤️ Emotions
If you're winning in all four, please teach the rest of us your ways.
Medical school is the only place where you can study for 10 hours, leave the exam hall convinced you failed, then somehow pass... and still have no idea what happened.
Dear Diary..
Two things I'm NOT doing.. Teaching no friend to be a friend.. & teaching a man to be a man. If it ain't in you by now, it never will be in you!
Be careful with people who have HIGH FUNCTIONING DEPRESSION. Let me explain:
1. They get up, get dressed, go to work, and cry in silence when nobody’s watching.
2. They check on everybody else, but don’t feel safe asking for help themselves.
3. Their smile is practiced, their “I’m fine” is automatic, their breakdowns are private.
4. They appear to be okay, give solid advice, and hold everybody down, but when the world gets quiet, their thoughts get loud.
