Med Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Ok if you've opened this you want to feel better about yourself or are just curious. Either way all you need to do is read this & you'll feel better cause you ain't me. 1st off everything I am about to say is true. I know you may not believe it but it is. I have spent the past couple of days taking stock of my life. Here is what I concluded. I am 27 years old. My marriage is over b/c of my wife's infidelity. I am going to flunk out of Medical school b/c she left me during finals & I choked. I am $48,000 in debt. I have no money, no car, no nothing. My youngest brother recently tried to commit suicide. I don't eat & can only sleep by taking sleep aids or cold medicine. If I had a dog, he would be dead right now. At some point & for some reason my life has become some deranged country music song!?! So next time you start bitchin' think of my life, cause it sucks! On a lighter note the weather's been nice. Link to post Share on other sites

So next time you start bitchin' think of my life, cause it sucks! On a lighter note the weather's been nice. You have got to lift yourself up and get out of the hole!! You can't let other people ruin your life. I know you said your wife left you. Well you know what, that's her loss not yours. But do you really want to ruin your entire life because she walked out the door?? Don't do that to yourself. Here's what I think..........first off, get your suicidal brother some counseling. Material possession do not mean anything (you said you didn't have a car, etc.). Go back to school, try to work things out. Re-test, do whatever you have to do to get back on track. If you let something in your life go right for you, just one thing, everything else will fall into place right behind it! If you go back to med school and do what you have to do, you'll be busy and i'm sure successful as well. That will definitely make you happier. If you pass med school, you'll also get those material things that mean so much to you (your car, home, etc.) If you don't get yourself out of this slump soon, you might never get out of it. Instead of feeling self pitty (which we all do sometimes), get your butt up and pull yourself out of it and put yourself back into the real world. I hope things get better for you. Good luck. P.S. Please don't buy a dog, not yet anyways! Link to post Share on other sites
Med Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Thanx for the advice. I actually don't feel to bad about things to be honest. I just thought it was funny cause I hate country music & I thought someone else might feel better about themselves hearing how bad things could be. I mean for all the crap I've had to deal with over the last 2 months I still know that there are people out there that have it exponentially worse than me. But I do appreciate the advice.

Nina Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Hey Med, I flunked out one semester because I was raped. I was put on academic probabtion adn I had an interview with the dean of my college (counselor education) and he gave me a clemency semester to bring up my GPA. Talk to your academic advisor and your professors. Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, I really hope it helped!! I hope you didn't take wrong what I said in the other post. I know where you are, buddy! belive me! I've been in similar situations. So i was really just speaking from personal experience. It's really hard to get out of the dumps when you're in a hole. I really sympathize. But that's why I was saying, you gotta pick yourself up befoe things get worse for you. And believe me, if you're expecting things to get worse, they will! Anyways, I really hope things work out for you! Good luck to you, ok? Stay positive (I know it's hard, but try!) ~~Peace~~ Link to post Share on other sites
magicklady Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Sorry to hear that your life is going so Badly.. Did you talk to your professors about your finals? Sometimes they can be really understanding people.. As far as student loans go.. all you have to do is call them and they will send you the paper work for extensions due to lack of funds.. (I have had to do it myself)... Sorry to hear about your wife and I am glad that you don't have a dog to be dead.. Life will get better you just have to shrug your shoulders and move on with it.. I am sure that you don't want to commit suicide or anything stupid like that... I hope everything gets better for you... Good luck with it... and keep us informed as to how you are doing!!
