when i see the computer system they use on wards for patients and so many test results it's like my brain is having too many tabs open and i can't focus on what's important and start daydreaming ( usually medicine status daydreams ) also panic attacks and feeling nausea

has medication worked for you to stop this madness

anyone else a single parent of 3

or autistic ? adhd ? pmdd ?

i'm prob the only

one

it's not meant for people like us

i get easily

panicked and overwhelmed

the week before my period life feels hopeless and i stayed home

i only have 2 good weeks a month with pmdd

single

parent mum with autism and recently adhd

med school

grew up with

parents of 2 different cultures who still fight and vent to me .

daily shamed by my father who said he stopped my unstable mum leaving him when i was 5 years old and disappearing into the london underground --- and i'm the family scapegoat . So he essentially saved me.

my mother uses medication to sleep all day.

wasn't allowed much freedom growing up compared to my brother

had an arranged marriage (( not forced ) as i didn't feel i could attract someone who isn't a Player

anyway the house is a constant mess with socks , pen lids and all sorts on the floor

someone has reported me to social care and they're going to visit

i'm currently on a break from uni as i feel frazzled

there are too many changes like house move and my kid starting secondary school and not even knowing where we're moving to as i don't want to live near my parents

get angry very quickly -

is medication likely to help someone like me as they have side effects ???

a week before period my fibromyalgia body aches Nd heavy ones js worse , my racing thoughts are bad

fatigued

single

mum of 3, age 35

also in med school

i have eloine pill but worry it will age me as it uses synthetic hormones

only bee able to take 2 pills as i dont want to mess up the cycle

my mum is 57 and has ended up with terrible acne during menopause and after after never having it

on her side my grandma suffered terrible migraines , there must be a hormone component

my blood test hormones are normal

i don't take adhd medication

does anyone have experience of being an autistic med student with kids ?

i feel burned out quickly on clinical

and find sequences like

blood tests very difficult as i'm being watched and don't like it

struggle with stage fright during osce- unable to relax despite alot of therapy

was told my voice was monotone during osce - how ignorant can these examiners be when i have a card says i have autism

i have ptsd and bpd so my mood can shift very quickly from

calm to angry with just a comment online - and i can't go back down for a few hours .

i guess i come

home to kids , laundry , cooking and feel on all the time

so the option to interrupt studies is there as i don't feel

able to pass the resit in a months time

and i don't want another arranged marriage

struggling with workload being a med student ,36, and single parent youngest child is 2 who doesn't sleep well

don't enjoy clinical side sensory overload on wards ----

i'm also autistic /adhd /fibromyalgia

not really having support network

i have option to interrupt for a year or do resit exams in june ( 2 months away ) which i'm not ready for

medicine is tied to my self esteem too much and this is probably family expectations

the pathway to becoming a non clinical doctor is so long
