Hey folks. It’s been a long time. I’m glad to say I made it through M1, but I can’t feel like I can say the same for M2.
We’re two (almost three) weeks in and I’m already exhausted??? I feel this huge pressure to succeed, and there’s so much information, and now with the looming horror of Step 1 I feel really overwhelmed. I’m reaching out to my school’s mental health resources, but I also want to reach out to you guys, my fellow medblrs. I thought I knew the answers, but this year has made it apparent that I don’t: how do you guys deal with burnout and anxiety, and how do you balance the monster of med school with your own wellness?
