I am getting so majorly burned out, so tired from school. I really wonder how I am suppose to counsel my patients to be healthy when school is making me so incredibly unhealthy. I literally am only getting 3 hours of sleep per night. If i get 6, its a really really good night. I am so tired of feeling exhausted, of feeling like there is a fog in my brain, of being hyped up on caffeine which keeps giving me stomach ulcers due to my GERD.
I wish there was more people who talked about this problem. It's literally expected that you will bust your ass and be sleeped deprived throughout med school and residency.
As of now, the only person I am hurting is myself. But what about next year when I am in the hospital 24/7. I am scared to death that this life style that is forced upon me will cause me to accidentally hurt one of my patients. And that is a scary thought.
I am majorly looking forward to this meet and greet, nice light at the end of the tunnel, but if I'm honest with myself, its going to cost me a month on ramen noodles to pay for it and even less sleep to make up for it. Is it worth it, absolutely, but man, the cost is high.

Souds like you need a Papa Roach concert to get some agression out.
Hang in there, I'm stressing out a lot right now from school but I'm staying positive and getting through it. Thanksgiving break is almost here, then Christmas break will be here after that and the semester will be over so just hang in there and stay positive.
