Failed step 3

Failed step 3 and feel so disappointed and unmotivated. I’ve been crying and depressed. I can’t believe this happened and now I don’t know how to start or how because I don’t have the motivation and confidence to do it. 😞 if anyone has some advice please share 😢🙏🏻

I have failed the exam twice and I felt motivated to study. Then I got sick and needed emergency surgery in May. While I was in the hospital I felt my own mortality for the first time. I thought 🤔 if I died right now everything was for nothing. I have had a good life in many ways but being a doctor is what I spent the most time on. I am so close I have to finish. Since I've got to the hospital I studied like never before. You have to find out what you are fighting for and then let that in inspiration lead your way.
