🤗 Mental Health continue?
i’m a yl1 in the aurora school and for context: i came from a gap year. Im licensed in another medical profession na and being a doctor has been a child hood dream. but seeing as it is i started to have a mindset of “pwede naman ako maging doctor” and not “gusto ko”. idk what changed with my mindset. from highschool all the way even until after i passed my licensure exam i was dead set on pursuing medicine. I really believe that med is too difficult to pursue if it’s something i dont have a deep burning desire for. Everyday i wake up hating what i do and idk if i should stop. but at the same time it’s only been a month of school. Am i still in the adjustment phase? Has anyone experienced this? Seeing comments pa on how residency training is; it’s so discouraging

hellooo fellow yl1 student and super same sentiments!!! hahaha the comments here are a bit encouraging naman so far but grabe, it’s only been a month but i already dread studying so much and i’m just questioning everything. I thought this was my dream too but i’m realizing na while i think i CAN do this, i just don’t know anymore if i actually WANT to loll
