I’m so afraid of being alone and having no relationship

Not to be rude but...are you for real? You’re sooo young (& almost done with med school, wow, how’s that possible?)...much too young to panic about never finding love. Why not do online dating?

It also helps to find out if someone has a boyfriend early in the process.

But I remember feeling lonely & panicky about this stuff too when I was in my 20s. So much so I married the wrong person at 26, I rushed it. That was probably the biggest mistake of my life.

Now I look at 20-something me & I roll my eyes. If I could I would shake the shit out of her.

Life is lonely for a lot of people nowadays...a lot of people feel isolated. And med school must be stressful, must be hard.

But try to take the long view...try to trust things will work out. Keep working at your goals, try to stay open, don’t get cynical or negative (& if you do, find a therapist).
