It'll pay off in the long run, keep grinding mane. How long you have left of med school?

I'm on the same boat as you OP. The depression hit me hard, when I finally had the chance to visit home after months of h3ll I was a shell of my former self. My confidence was just shot and I wasn't the same guy I was before.

Literally lifted like 10 times in 5 months after going regularly 5 times/week. A lot of my gains evaporated, social life evaporated, no time for hobbies, etc. Got extra sad after reminding myself that the rest of my 20s, the prime years of one's life, will be spent buried behind books and in hospitals. I decided that I just have to study more efficiently to be able to make some time for a couple things that make me happy in life, even if it's just for 1 hour/day.

i feel like med school is aging me. it's been only 5-6 months but my body feels like it went thru 2 years

[Daydreamergirl]

Good luck. Yea it's worth it

Never once in my life did I consider seeing a mental health professional until now. The prospect of even considering that makes me feel weak and like a failure. It's amazing how so many of my peers hide their stress so easily. There are some super humans who just find some way to keep themselves happy, how they do it I don't know.

[SurveyBrahs]

You're going to make it brah. Just remind yourself why you got into the medical field. I hope to be in your shoes (aside from the struggle part) in a couple years.

[koreangenetics]

Good luck. Yea it's worth it

are u a dr?

[Daydreamergirl]

are u a dr?

No.

The first year was the most depressed I had ever been in my life

Just keep trucking man. It gets better and you get used to.

It is worth it. Trust me.

Also..... Your sig..... Did I tell you that? Sounds like something I'd say.

[PushPull21]

It'll be worth it OP...

Can relate to some extent, but only in a Masters program (no comparison to med school). Work full-time, 16 hours of classes a week, 20 hours at an internship.

The misc needs some PhD

no it was notbadnotbrad or some **** like that

[suprabum]

if i could rep you for this 1 star thread id rep you rite now

[Hardlifter9]

lul OP you literally spoke my mind. Been at it since 8am and have a ton of exams next week. I do lift and make constant progress though + have some online sources of income.

[anonkunbrah]

you're not missing anything on the outside world. just a bunch of cucks shuffling to make a buck

[tank2003]

when you start rolling in the money, you'll realize it was worth it

[Hardlifter9]

Will it be worth it? There's a chance it wont be. You'll be doing A LOT of admin work and much less effective patient care than you think. If you're very good at business you'll make a lot of money and be balling but if you aren't (which like 95% of docs are not) then there's a good chance you'll be living middle to upper middle class. The prestige/status of our field has also evaporated too, it's still #1 but nowhere near what it was 20 years ago. It's lost its exclusivity and isn't seen as that special anymore.

Problem is that docs of the past didn't have the same amount of material to learn.

I would recommend you to lift sometime. I have to make time, but it's a great stress reliever.

We're gonna make it brahs.

How does it feel knowing that if you majored in computer engineering/mining or petro engineering you'd have a 100k+ salary straight out of college and 150-175k salary by the time you are going to get out of med school with massive debt and still have residency to go through?

[Jamalishere]

Dude it is worth it. Don't listen to the ***gots who say it isn't. Finish med school and become a doctor. Most women would love to date a doctor and also you will have money. Best of luck.

[IawI]

Worked in a hospital for a while, and doctors are some of the dumbest, most socially awkward people I've ever met. Makes sense when you realize they've had their head in a book since highschool. At least you'll be able to buy cool things OP.

I know more engineers under 30 year old than I could count and I don't know a single one making 100k. A lot arent even employed.

and comp engineering or mining? wot? and very few engineers ever make more than 120-130k unless they're like 60 years old or in management.

Maybe in the past when you didn't need social skills to get accepted.

It's hard to make a call in 2016 as ot whether or not it's worth it. In the 80s or 90s it was a sure bet. Won't really improve your dating but the money is pretty solid though.
