u/Future_Doctor_

This might be a stupid question, but basically, I have been down with a super severe ear infection since Friday and haven’t gotten any MCAT prep done. It has been so bad that I’ve had 3 trips to the doctor, have an ear canal that is swollen shut, and have needed 24/7 alternating ibuprofen and Tylenol to stay comfortable.

I also have bad anxiety and have been so stressed out that I’m getting far behind already, but I also know that this is completely out of my control. Thus, my question to everyone is how do you readjust and not freak out when you get behind on your schedule?

I am extremely afraid of getting bugs in my apartment specifically like to a point that it’s kind of crazy. I just found a singular ant in my bed and spent 20 minutes shaking out sheets and inspecting every single surface around my bed for ants.

I have always had a fear of bugs, but I think it’s magnified now that I’m renting and in charge of my own place for the first time. My best friend also had a massive roach infestation ~2 years ago. I’m always checking for signs of roaches. Is anyone else horribly afraid of bugs? How do you cope?
