wanderlust

i’m an assorted mess, like a box of chocolates

1. Hypochondriasis - CHECK [uh, aren’t all med students?]
2. OCD - CHECK; [trans compiler, has to touch key/phone/wallet before leaving, triple locks the car, obsessively labels emails]
3. Social Phobia - CHECK; [as a child, I was terrified of ordering food because it meant I had to talk to the cashier; in high school I would have panic attacks before every single piano recital. after spazzing out & screwing up my final one, I haven’t performed piano publicly since; now - i hate reporting in front of class]
4. Generalized Anxiety Disorder - CHECK [excessive anxiety & worry > 6 months, difficult to control worry, easily fatigued, mind goes blank, irritability, muscle tension, sleep disturbance, and significant distress secondary to medical school]
5. Major Depressive Disorder - CHECK [chronic depressed mood, disinterest in music/art/creativity, weight gain, hyperinsomnia/insomnia, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness]
