Can someone please help me figure it all out?!


Question: Can someone please help me figure it all out!?
I am very sad, and I am constantly tensed, worried about my future!. I cry uncontrollably once every 5 weeks, as if waves and waves of pain surge up and up in tears and gasps!. It lasts for about half an hour!. I have tried so hard to succeed: I am trying to become a doctor, I am studying pre-medicine, have a 4!.0 GPA, I was involved in research and plenty of health care volunteering activities, as well as extracurriculars!. I recently applied to a program that could have given me selection into medical school, but they did not pick me, even after the interview, only 12 people were to be selected!. I am so sick and tired of proving myself to others, I have no life and no fun, I take everything negatively!. As if everything is trying to defeat me, break me!. I only want to give my life some meaning by having a career, a family in the future, but other than that, there is nothing to live for!. Love, peace, and happiness are all cancelled for me, and I am too tired to even try for them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Sounds like you need a break!
Relax!. You have an entire life ahead of you!.!.!. don't worry about getting it all at once!. Last year I kept a very strict schedule for myself!. I went to school, devoted all of my time to homework and extra credit, wore the grungiest clothes, and had no friends!. Obviously, I was worn out, just like you are!.
Try reaching out to others in school or all the activities you're involved in!. After all, who can exist without friends!? Build a "support group"; just a group of people you can turn to when life drags you down!.
Second, don't sweat the small stuff!. Extracurriculars and volunteering are great, but not if you don't find joy in it!. If possible, cut a few things out of your schedule for some down-time for just you!.
Third, just because you didn't make the program, it doesn't mean you're out of options!. After all, look at all of your accomplishments already!
Finally, God is in control of everything!. I don't know if you're a Christian or not, but just remember that simple fact!. He's there if you need someone to lay your worries and struggles upon!.!.!. that's what he's here for!.

Relax, and try to see the good things in life!. I know it's hard at the moment, but with a conscious effort, it'll begin to become a second nature!. You have your life ahead of you!.!.!. don't let the stress get to you!. Find people who will accept you for who you are, and not for your accomplishments!. :] Don't give up hope!

I wish you the best!. You're in my prayers!.
God bless!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok for one here is what I did because almost a year ago I was there!. Take a semester off you because it seems like you aren't making any time for you!. Depression strikes when you least expect it whether you like it or not!. I have not yet returned to school because in that semester that I was originally taking off I started to reevaluate everything that I was doing, now I'm not sure what I really want to do with my life, but i know that whatever I do with my future endeavors I want to be happy with my choices!. Who knows perhaps being a doctor really isn't for you despite your thinking that it was!. Listen to your heart not your brain on what you want to do if you should take the time off!. And see a doctor in regards to your depression they may be able to give you something for your anxiety!. If you want to avoid the meds then find someone like a minister or a close friend who is willing to listen!. Heck I'd even be willing to help if you want to email me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

1!. Prove yourself to yourself -- take on your own challenges!.

3!. No matter what you do, taking things negatively will just make everything negative!. Find the positive!.

You sound like someone who feels their never good enough, and doesn't deserve to have things he wants!. So, grow up and stop trying to do what you think your parents, or whatever authority figures you kowtow to want, and be your own authority!. Take a year or two to just do what you want and not care what others think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Continue to better yourself, because if you build a careeryou can always lose that, you can always lose a family, and believe me you are infinitely losing and infinite amount of alterative futures!. If you continue to better yourself you will have that to rely on!.

I'm supposed to be the one answering, but i must ask: Did you have a back up plan!? If so, is it something that you would really be content doing!? You probably should have been working on that at the same time!. I'm not even majoring in a sience!. I find it unfortunate for student to work so hard toward one goal, and if it doesn't work out, they're screwed!. I've been considering taking some business courses as well, because believe me my friend there are other ways to becaome wealthy and have stable careers other than medicine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
