I have been dismissed from medical school. I am currently awaiting the appeals process to begin but this is a life long dream and I failed not only myself but my family.

Please try not to worry. Do you have someone to advocate for you in the appeals process?

no its all on me

I think you should look into getting an advocate. You have a legal entitlement to have representation.
assistant
Information
because of the holidays it will be kind of pointless they will probably see my cause a few days before the scheduled meeting
user

Ah I do understand. I have been frustrated when things grind to a halt at this time of year too. Can you ask for an extension on your appeal time?
assistant
Self-disclosure
No extensions allowed but thank you for your suggestions
user

That sounds very harsh, especially given the current situation. I suggest that you find out where you stand legally because I am sure that this can't be right
assistant

user

Unfortunately the current global situation is not helping any of us. It is terrible to feel scared all the time.

user

Perhaps you could make a list of things that you mean to do in the New Year to give you something to focus on?
assistant
Providing Suggestions
thats a good idea actually I use to have a journal but havent wrote in it for years it helped a lot
user

Make sure to only choose realistic goals so's not to make yourself feel despondent and do not be too hard on yourself if something does not work out! A journal is a fantastic idea. You can track your personal progress over a period of time.

Unfortunately, depression does mean that we can judge ourselves far too harshly. I have been guilty of that myself in the past.
