Croudsourcing lang haha. Kamusta po ang PGI sa Perpetual Help Las Piñas? Considering staying kasi here sa amin sa BF Homes for the year to come.

HAVING emotions is different from actively FEELING them. If you don't take time to actively FEEL emotions you have, you could end up repressing them and blowing up later on

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

Okay. I've decided to come home to Parañaque and do my revalida preps there. My family doesn't always make me comfortable but they are what they are and I love them. Kulang lang siguro ako sa love kaya nababaliw na ko sa dorm. Laban. Para sa mga matutulungan ko in the future!

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

I don't want to seem needy. I do my best to keep myself stable despite being physically alone during this revalida preparation. But loneliness stabs me from behind sometimes. If there's an old friend there who can check up on me every now and then, I would really appreciate it.

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

Watching IM lectures now like it's Netflix. Hahaha. Binge na itu. Onti nalang doktor na ko...

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

What an emotionally exhausting day. Buti nalang okay antidepressant dose ko. Will have to work on my issues with a psychotherapist though. Right after I get that MD...

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

Someday God will put me somewhere I can be myself without annoying anyone. Masking is exhausting. I just wanna be unapologetically me every now and then. #ADHD #medstudent

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

In this way, studying becomes like a game and gives me a rush that could tap into my hyperfocus mode.
I am not an inferior doctor because of my ADHD. I'm just differently-abled. Kaya ko to!

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

Found a way to get myself excited to study emergencies!
I like imagining myself as an attending at the ER then writing down the decisions I would make, and pausing to read when I don't know what to do (well of course, can't do that IRL, but that's the beauty of mental practice)

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

Sertraline titrated to 150mg OD. Kapit lang muna. I can be mentally stable until I finish my Oral Revalida.

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

@chimkentinola Yasss channel ur inner bebelet mami!

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

For some reason, the operating room makes me feel so relaxed. When I'm watching or assisting in a case it feels like my whole world is in the OR. I leave all my problems behind and just desire to fix what is right in front of me.

[JP Calma @Mr_CALMAdulin]

Had such a fun time with ortho today! Ang cute nung lahat ng nagoopera nakikikanta doon sa background music na karaoke standards hahaha.
