Majorly procrastinating submitting my primary app

Okay I’m a Texas resident (non trad with a 3.4 and 514) and I literally took a whole gap year after my mcat last June and STILL haven’t finished my primary.

I’ve been stressing hella and I went from aiming to submit on 5/31 to 6/15 to 6/30 to now. I keep trying to sit down and write my essays and I’m struggling so badly to get the words out. Normally I’m a great writer but I just feel so stuck and overwhelmed.

My parents have been putting so much pressure on me too which just makes me more paralyzed with anxiety. It doesn’t help that my household environment is pretty toxic.

I’ve been questioning my motivation for medicine for the last 2 years, after switching from tech, and honestly I don’t even know if I still want to go to medical school. I’ve been really enjoying my free time with friends and family and travel for the first time in my life and I’ve been questioning if I want to lose that to medicine for the next 8 years.

Am I not late for Texas also considering my GPA?? I need to just lock in and submit something. Seeing people already completed with their secondaries is stressing me out more
