Everything begun to fall apart. I felt that I was just pushing through without any hope, got two C grades in both 2nd year and 3rd year which are supposed to be the hardest years since it is preclinical and I thought when I get to the clinical part. It would be much better, now I see the difference only in the time schedule.

I do not want to become a burden on my family and friends when I'm alive. And when I am gone. I just wanted to live by...

Having fun with what I used to do. Hanging out and playing video games and chasing my hobbies. Now I feel no taste in these stuff like I used to do. Nor do I feel hope or enjoyment towards medschool.
In the end I think I would manage and breakthrough
