MD students aren't the only ones who have this issue either. As a PhD student in a medical research program, I have talked to several others who face these same problems. I experience it in my own thoughts as well. 4 years in, I have no social life, never meet anyone, don't really have the drive to do anything outside of work anymore, etc... I never remembered being like this from my previous jobs, but overall, I genuinely feel sad that the things I look forward to most may never happen; A wife, kids, projects to do in my own house... Having always worked intense, physical jobs (at essentially minimum wage), I set out to get a much better job, benefit the lives of others, and ensure that I could comfortably support my goals in the future. In the process, I have completely lost who I was, let friendships fall apart, and feel the opportunities to mend them slip through my fingers. |
