When i was little, per say when i was in primary school, i had such high confidence. I used to think because my grades are higher than everyone in my class and i speak a foreign language at such young age, im above everyone else. When i was talking to my other classmates i genuinely thought i am above them. One might say it was a toxic way of thought. Still i am very very sad i lost it.
Around when i hit puberty, i suddenly turned into this stressful anxious girl with zero confidence. Suddenly i wasnt the prettiest girl around and any question i would wanna ask in class would make me sound stupid and my voice was shaky. It got bad to the level where i almost dropped out of school.
Tonight i was crying because i had heard my classmates judged my way of taking an oral exam and believed the professor helped me out too much and i didnt deserve to pass.
I honestly wish i was the same confident kid which i was 15 years ago. Many of these people wouldnt even be on my level, i wouldnt even bother having a conversation with them.
 
@AvidFan @LumberJack Have either of you tried taking Benadryl or its generic equivalent, diphenhydramine, as a sleep aid?

I’ve come to rely on it frequently these days in conjunction with melatonin, particularly when I want to guarantee the best chance of getting adequate sleep. I find that melatonin works faster (if at all), whereas Benadryl keeps me sedated throughout the night no matter how often I wake up. The downside is that the drowsiness lingers somewhat into my waking hours, making it challenging to stay awake and get out of bed despite getting ample sleep.

Yes, and I am super sensitive to diphenhydramine. 25mg will knock me out for 24 hours. Regular dose for adults is 50mg. I find that it doesn't give me quality sleep, it just knocks me out and makes me feel like I've caught a cold.

It really does say, or speak, more about them -- much more~so, in fact; that they would do this & to judge you and to belittle you and all of that/or everything else. . . It defines their character, and who they are as people. Or maybe they could argue it was only one or two of them, who were leading the larger collective group-think? I don't even care, that they all participated in, and were complacent, or complicit in this behavior. Here again, that's on them. It only matters to You, now. Because you're in the middle of it all with them. They're a part of Your world, as you are theirs. Given that you're all studying this intense & profound thing called, Medicine to-gether. But when you're done, and you all separate - go on your separate ways & so on and so forth. You'll not think of them again, or have such a great concern for what their opinion is of you (going forward/& into the future). I think it sounds like lame gossip to me. I don't know what the percentage of foreign(ers), or exchange, so to speak students make up or comprise your roster of active classmates their on campus. But assuming it isn't fairly or reasonably well-blended & diverse. Then they should all be ashamed of themselves for making such fun of, and over something with which is an obstacle, with which they don't have to face, and that is in front of them in such matters (assuming this isn't in your most fluent of, or native of tongues, or languages); International? Why is the name, or word escaping me now for whatever reason. Because I am an Idiot! That's why, HA. ;D Anyway, I know it hurts now, but it won't one day is basically what I'd wanted to say. Like when or once you get around to the actual practicing of medicine, and are doing so outside of the confines of your education with these others. Yes, you're right, if you were a different kind of person. One more like you were before. It's true. You could get through this a whole lot better/or a little bit easier. But no matter what discipline you'd decided to focus on, study, specialize in & so on and so forth. But let's just say it's something like Psychiatry--then you'd even more so want to be of the make-up/& mindset with which you are now comprised. And made up of. One in which is sensitive to such feelings, of the human condition. And not so - well, like how you were before. :^) Not, that there's any-thing wrong, with~that*!(-; Peace and good night! How do you say that in Italian... Guten Nein! :D porque porque no comprendo super incommunicado~* =)

Damn, 24 hours? That’s a shame. I hope you manage to find something that actually helps. I know how disastrous inadequate sleep can be for an already bad enough mood.
