My Purple Notebook

Thanks for your kind words. 💜

Short answer: Yes, I always wanted to be a doctor.Long answer: Even though I did, it hasn't been an easy journey but then again, life wasn't meant to be easy. So jump in if you truly want to, if you're ready to go all the way, if you're prepared to face all the pressure. At medschool, they not only teach you but also train you to deal with life. You'll learn if you're open to it.I hope I could help.💜

When we think we're burying our problems, they end up piling instead. But don't fret. Breathe. Relax. Calm yourself. Don't worry about being a disappointment right now. Deal with your problems one at a time. And all the while ensure that you get proper peace of mind. 💜

Yes, it is totally possible.Do not feel ashamed to ask such a question.I have studied psychiatry and I can tell you a couple of possibilities you feel this way.1) You know the reason deep down and don't want to admit it.2) You feel you don't know the reason but your body is coping with it. It's a defense mechanism.3) You do not have any reason that you can name and frame particularly, but it's an amalgam of a variety of reasons.4) There is no reason. But unintentionally you feel that you can do better but are not doing so and that's why you feel this way.5) If you don't fit in either of the categories, it's idiopathic depression. Idiopathic is a real term for a disease or a condition without any apparent cause.Now you're probably wondering how to deal with all this. I'm not licensed to issue a medical advice but I can tell you a couple of things I've read and experienced.Try to change your lifestyle for a while. Take a vacation from your daily routine. Do what pleases you. But don't get used to it. Give yourself a specified amount of time to relax.Also try to stay away from triggers. If going on makes you feel good, do it. If staying in makes you feel good, do that.Don't try to hard to feel better, just go with the flow of things, take things slowly and lightly, everything will fall into place soon enough.Figure out your weaknesses, find them, fight for them. But give yourself breathing time. That's the most important part.Hope to hear from you soon.Stay strong.💜

First year was the worst for me. Drowning in books and medical knowledge that flew over my head, no idea where I'm going, what I'm doing. But once I started liking all the hassle and the fuss, studies and the books, it got so much more fun.Just hold on. It gets better. You'll get used to all the hard work. Seek inspiration from your seniors. I did. They all seemed like veterans to me.Time passes and soon you'll be a pro and giving out advice to other newlymeds 😅😅Hope you have a successful career one day.💜

I traded my doubts with blood and sweat, Painted my skin in the shades of dust. Embellished myself with bruises all over, Broke my bones beyond repair. "Being strong" did come at a price. I earned the title when the word became synonymous with sacrifice. [Strong -HF]

I think people have forgotten how to listen. And as a result, they just talk. They want to be heard. They want their voice to stand out. They wouldn’t hear other’s opinions and just talk and talk mindlessly.If they actually listen, they might realise that they are wrong at times and then they’ll talk a little less and make a lot more sense.Listen before you speak.Thanks for the question.Have a blessed day. 💜

These are my initials but yeah, they can stand for that too, which is amusing.Everytime I'm studying cardiology section, I'm reminded that I can be a failure, a heart failure. 😅Thanks for the question. You're quite observant ✌🏻💜

It means "extreme and incoherent wordiness"It's actually a medical term. Logorrhea(noun)So I decided to go with this.Since I'm mostly surrounded by medschool stuff and hardly know a decent thing about literature 😅Thanks for the question.💜

Thank you so much for reading 💜

You mean as in a book or something? Well, I don't consider myself an established writer. But I'm learning, I'm growing.At the present moment, I'm so busy with medschool.But someday, I'll definitely consider it.Thanks for the ask. I appreciate your faith in me.💜

Thank you so so much for such kind words. It means a lot to me. I have been going through a grind in life these days, and this really cheered me up! It's so uplifting!There are few people in the world who do kind deeds for others, glad to know that you are one of them. I'm grateful.I hope to keep writing, keep inspiring, keep motivating others and myself.Wishing you a beautiful day and a happy life.💜
