    I'm going to quit medical school this morning, after years facing depression because I couldn't deal with the anxiety it gives me. I'd like to thank you for the amazing video on the subject and for brightening my morning.

    I learned this lesson the hard way during my sophomore year. Although I got straight As, I was extremely depressed, sleep deprived, suicidal, and greatly damaged both my physical and mental health. I wish I had known when to stop and re-evaluate my situation, because grades are never worth that type of sacrifice and I wish I hadn't put myself through that type of trauma.

      I wanted to go to PA school up until 2 days ago. It sounds super cliche but I seriously woke up around 4 am and my first thought was “I don’t wanna do this anymore.” I’ve been feeling empty and lost for the last couple of days and I really don’t know what to do. I’m a junior in college and I want to at least finish school but I’m not sure what’s next... I’m scared that my friends and family will judge me and look down on my decisions. I already feel so bad I don’t need people telling me I’m making a huge mistake.

      @PaytonShaggy 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes. Some relationship will only keep you down. Sometimes even family members. For, example I had to give up on my relationship with my own Parents because they are toxic. My mom makes up lies all the time for money. She constantly bugs me for money every pay day. Also I feel like or I know that my mom doesn’t respect boundaries. She tried to kick out my girlfriend out of my own apartment. My mom is toxic and my Dad is a hard core drug addict. He’s a crack head who steals off his own kids. It’s sad. They gave me so much stress but I couldn’t do it anymore. I tried literally like a million times. And they always end hurting and taking advantage of me.

    This is a very good video with some great points in it. I went to medical school for 3 years (but in reality 4 years due to remediation), and recently decided that I needed to move on and leave medical school. For almost 2 years I struggled with the concept of feeling like a quitter if I left without finishing the program and the not persisting through the struggles I already had to endure to stay. But inside, I really did not enjoy clinical sciences and medicine, and over time I realized I didn't have a passion for the job anymore but was merely plugging along still barely passing my classes. Additionally my life balance was terrible and I was very miserable and lonely through the clinical years of medical school. The concept of sunk cost that he makes here is huge, because if that's really the only thing keeping you in (as it was for me) then I really isn't worth it for you to stay in something you don't enjoy. It was a VERY tough decision for me to make, don't get me wrong, but the best mentality to have, like he said, is to move on and use it as a learning experience for the future

      My situation is exactly like you except that I quit because I couldn’t cope with it anymore and I’m tired of trying to pass the exam because it’s taking a huge toll on my mental and physical health. Tbh I feel like a failure and suffer from PTSD, everyone say time will heal this but I don’t know if I’ll get over it. Sometimes my brain keep ruminating these thought over and over again but for now I’m able to handle it.

      I'm now in the same place where you were. I am now almost completed 3 years in med school and ever since I started clinical sciences I realised that this is not for me.
      But I still wanted to continue because of same reasons like not wanting to be a quitter, and also due to family pressure. Now I've continued like that for about 1 1/2 years and I'm fed up and can't drag myself forward any more.
      I'd like to know did you really leave the med school?
      And do you think it's worth leaving or do you regret your decision?

    I left my home 2 weeks ago at 15 years old to live alone with a host family in the US. I left everything at home, my family, my friends, my habits, everything. Everyone tells you that an exchange year is amazing and that homesickness is normal and will disappear with time. I have been in the US for only 2 weeks and the whole vision of my American dream is gone. I am mentally and physically exhausted and am losing myself. I just want to go back home, but my parents tell me that I should give it another chance (1-2 weeks more). But just thinking about staying here makes me feel depressed and alone. My parents did say that they only want me to be happy, so that if I really feel unhappy I should come back. I not just miss my old life but I don't like how my life is turning into, that is why I want to quit. Thank you for this video it helped me understand that I don't have to feel ashamed or guilty for wanting to quit.

    Thanks for this. I recently dropped out of law school and am now pursuing medical school. I realized that I had made a very bad decision in moving to a different country (from Canada to the U.S.) in order to pursue becoming a biglaw lawyer solely for the money. part of why I did it is because my dad died from cancer a couple of years ago and after he died my family (mom included) discovered he had an insane amount of debt that his life insurance only just barely paid off. My mom lost her husband and won't be able to retire for a long while still. I became paranoid about saving and investing money because I didn't want to end up like my father, and law seemed like a secure path to do so, plus I hadn't really thought too hard about what else to do, I just wanted to continue studying. I enjoyed law school, and didn't do badly, but upon networking with many lawyers I realized that I would be unbelievably miserable doing what they do, in some random city in a different country apart from my family and friends. Also the high paying job was not even a guarantee, and despite a near full scholarship to a great school I would've wasted another two years accumulating debt, likely to suffer a breakdown whether I received a high-paying job or not.
    The healthcare industry had been calling to me even before I decided to go to law school, but I ignored it because I had always been sold on this idea that I had to work in business or entrepreneurship if I wanted to make my dreams come true or be happy or whatever. I remembered that I was most happy when I worked as a lifeguard / swim instructor through college, taking care of and teaching kids, forming meaningful relationships, having the responsibility of having another's life in my hands, etc. But I also enjoy school and a rigorous intellectual challenge. Thankfully, had I not achieved what I did with getting into a top law school (my dream school, making it even harder to quit, actually) I never would've thought I had it in me to go to med school, so in the end it might be only because of this experience that I end up becoming a doctor.
    I am still reeling from the decision months later. It was very difficult to shed the identity of "lawyer" as well as being a graduate of my chosen school. I put a lot of stock into law school and even deferred for a year before going (for various reasons, one being my father's recent death) and I feel like I completely wasted that year now. I imagine it won't be until I actually get into medical school that I will feel validated by my decision, but who knows. One other thing I learned is how important it is to me to be close to friends and family, and build my life at least somewhat close to them (I was not planning on returning to Canada unless I stopped being a lawyer due to the lower pay and issues with transferability). Its been very rough, but I truly believe had I continued down this path there just would have been a bigger explosion somewhere down the line. I'd have been immediately miserable in the practice of law, may not have even gotten a good job, been alone in a different country, probably would've had relationship issues due to stated aloneness and misery, had unnecessary debt, and then possibly may have been so sucked into the profession that I wouldn't have had the courage to stop.
    Quitting was the toughest decision I've ever made. I've been depressed, had suicidal thoughts, etc. While this has been the most trying time of my life, even moreso than watching my dad succumb to cancer at a young age, I'm confident that in the future I will look back at it all as a learning experience. One that made me grow up and figure out what I really want my life to look like.

    The only thing keeping me in med school is that when i become a MD is having a good salary and feeling important or like a hero. Doctors are also essential workers. Where as if I pursue something in the creative field... those jobs are not "essential". Not to mention financial struggles. Am I going to med school bc i love helping people? No. Do i hate helping people? Ofc no. Is it interesting? Yes. But theres also a lot.
    I knew getting into med school was going to be hard, but i guess i just didn't care. And now it's hitting me. I am in the second year of the 6 year program of becoming a MD. Idk. Maybe it's better quitting now than waisting more time...

    As a whole med school right now for me is just a miserable experience. This is partly attributable to the pandemic and professors who have gotten lazy as a result. I just do not feel like I am learning anything let alone learning how to treat patients. Right now, it feels like I am a dog asked to meow and it doesnt feel right.
    I am honestly considering quitting once the semester is over.

    I totally agree sometimes quitting is the better choice!
    I tend to forget it quite often, I relentlessly pursue one thing
    and after a couple weeks, months or years I refuse to give it
    up even though it would be the best decision! But the fact
    that I invested so much time or money into one thing makes
    me crave a positive outcome, which sometimes comes but not always.
    From now on I will take an more objective view on such things
    and If needed I will quit such endeavors!

I decided I'll retake it when/if school opens up. After my bad experience with online tutoring, and the test format being in a way where I spent more time explaining my answer than actually doing that math problem, I decided to quit it.

For me, I was fortunate enough to get all the time and support to heal from the trauma from med school. After a long gap, I got an admission to a local university where I graduated with academic excellence in Anthropology. I got several job offers after that and currently I’m working in a reputed non-profit organization, doing something I enjoy but not at the expense of my health and happiness!

    Do you think I made the right choice?.....
    I am an yr 4 medical student. Once I started clinicals I realized this isn't what I want with my life. I tried a lot of methods to try and cope like exercise, yoga, counseling sessions different study methods, and many more which did help me for a while but I always end up where I started. I've been pushing and forcing myself just because I've survived 4 years, and I thought i should take it to the end. So I ended up suffering from on and off depression which later started triggering panic attacks and suicidal idealation for me. My life had become hell with only 5 hours of sleep, studying, running around the hospital whole day, even studying in the weekends. Not being able to even enjoy watching movies because of that guilt that i can be studying right now since we have alot of studying left. After alot of thinking, I decided that rather than forcing myself to continue med school and eventually worsening my mental health to an extent where I might do self harm, I can take a break from mbbs itself and try and explore other options. I think this decision has been my life saver, I feel so happy and free and see a ray if hope that now I can also have a peaceful happy life. Although i dont have any backup plans yet, I am sure ill soon find something amd be somewhere where I truly belong. I just hope I am doing the right thing and will not regret this later.

    Thanks for this video! I've been contemplating medical school for awhile simply because I don't know if my reasons are valuable enough to pursue it (parents, social status, income). This puts things into perspective

    I felt the same with school, almost drove myself insane truthfully.
    BUT
    I didn't went insane, I actually quit and am doing pretty good now
    Quit school, if it stress you out.
    Fuck it

    The thing with me it's that I get distracted during study time, it's weird it's like I start to think things, or do something wrong, I don't get awful grades even if I don't study well, (by the way I'm in first med school year but I have to repeat the year, and it's no going so well. Your inspired me, but they gave me more wiseness to be more conscious about my situation, I like science and medicine but it's hard to focus, and I don't really feel to quit.

    @AbdurahmanAlomrani 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    well i will try to put this as straightforward as i can regarding the technique you proposed at 2:55
    i answered " i will definitely do something different. at the first question"
    the only problem is with the second question!. that i have only 3 more months to graduate medical school and it's kind of a very stressful time.. realizing that i will not continue on this path and i know for a fact. that i would not wish to become some avg. physician working my butt off.
    the desire to quit is intense how ever it would be such a waste of time and effort not to continue these 4-3 months and just get my degree!
    i am have a few opportunities to pursue that i am sure will give me more of sense of achievement.
    thanks for the video it's simple helpful!

    Good video. My kid is considering moving on from a sport he has done for 7 years. He's done it bc I invested him in it. Lately he's struggled bc he isn't big. But, even though I'm realizing the errors of my ways & supporting him now, he says he loves it. But, could be he is just saying things to make me happy.
    Anyhow, he'll talk it over with the coach.

    I went to school with a girl that died jumping from her balcony while in medical school. She was apparently too scared to tell her parents so she just wanted out.
    If you really want to quit, ask yourself if you’d still quit if it was easy? If not, then power through.
    If you’re quitting because you don’t care about the end goal then maybe quit.
    Choose life my friends.

I have invested 5yrs of my life in MBBS n now I'm so fed up of it....idk what to do! My loved ones want me to continue but I'm super exhausted n idk how much longer I can hold on :(

      not that my opinion matters, but you should ask your friends what they think, or your family.
      I too struggle with anxiety and it makes school way more tough, but i continue to pull through. Do you still enjoy medical school enough to pull yourself through?
      Do you see a potential career in medicine?

  • @S1ckozz

    I started playing college baseball after a horrible experience my senior year of high school, and I’m moving on to different activities after this freshman year. I had to take a long hard look into my past to realize I didn’t commit because I loved baseball still, but because I felt like I had something to prove to the people that doubted me. So now I’m in a position where I’m somewhere that I’m not going to get a good education, I’m not in a good area, and I’m not talented enough to take it to the next level. I love the game of baseball, I love to have fun with it, but for the past 2 years the love of the game has been replaced by what feels like a chore. I guess I’m burnt out, but maybe I just created a path just to say that I did. Idk someone help me out

    I just had my class registration open today and I woke up super early and registered as soon as the portal opened just to try to sign up for my classes. But unfortunately, I'm waitlisted on most of my pre-requisite classes that could hold me back... Although my head hurts from this stress, I think that I will stick with it and I'm not just about to quit on this road block. There's still some hope, right? I'm not giving up that easily, I'll adapt and if I have to take summer courses then so be it!

    Hey Jay do you listen to the Tim Ferriss show because he just did an episode on this in his Tim Ferriss radio hour and it was all on quitting. Episode 254. I am going to go out on a limb and say that's where the inspiration for this video came from because it's point by point what is covered in the podcast. Great video, happy to see my worlds intersecting. Good job on distilling it down to 7 minutes.
