beepboopbot Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 You know what’s another phobia I’m developing? Waking up. you know when you first wake up in those “idk where I am” first few minutes you reflexively grab the phone off the nightstand and check time and then suddenly remembering “OH MY GOD IS IT MAY 8TH” and cold sweat pounding heart realizing ok not yet and its only 6am and there are no more classes why don’t u go back to sleep you crazy nut That’s me every morning. 2hopeful, envisioning, Maggie19 and 3 others 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man wait till you develop a phobia of falling asleep too because some dreaming of results is inevitable! But remember that even if you wake up frenzied on May 8, results won't be out at 6am or even necessarily right when offices open. Allow your nerves to kick in around 9 to be more reasonable haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiynadoll Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Anyone have plans for what theyre doing the night of the 7th? I'm seriously considering just drinking my worries away so I can sleep through the night. I'm on pacific time so I'll probably find out first thing in the morning, which would make or break my day :/ markup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepcid my friends. I dont know how it works (really should look into it) but its the only way I can make it past 2 drinks without turning beet red, calling it a night due to major migraines, and being totally mentally sober, but cant function otherwise.

So I get a lot of "Habibi why do you stress, relax, just don't think about it!".

Egg_McMuffin Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Surprisingly, I've been pretty good about not thinking about it for the last month. I've kinda just assumed that I'm not getting in LOL. Had a bout of anxiety a week ago thinking about which province I'd like to move to (taking into consideration options for in-province status, and trying to decide how much that should factor into my decision vs. lifestyle factors). My work contract up north will be done in 8 weeks so I've been in job-hunting mode. Also, I'm just starting to get back into a good groove with my physical fitness and eating after the interview...they can reject me but they can't take away my abs hahaha. I'll be attending a wedding 4 days after D-day, where I'll see a lot of my dietitian friends who know about my med school goals. If I start crying, at least I can say it's because I'm happy for the couple. I think on May 7 I'll likely spend it like any other work day- go to work, work out, have dinner, maybe journal and meditate to calm my anxiety, submit some job applications (I think it'll be a good way to remind myself of how much I've accomplished and that life goes on, there are other opportunities and new experiences waiting), and call it a night with no expectations that life will be different on May 8. My work calendar is empty on May 8, so if I feel like absolute shit I can take a sick day. My best friends have agreed that they won't message me on May 8, to avoid giving me heart attacks from phone notifications. lachouette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely cannot imagine how there can be any correlation between the Raptors and your med school admission results. You’re almost there! Just 4 days. Hang in there and breathe! Go work out, relax in the pool, hike a trail, party, watch a movie, binge on Netflix, and have fun! Nibbler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
