i am med student too.. which yr are u in? Its a norm to feel this way in 1st yr. evetually you will get used to it. If u r still in first yr and realise things are getting really harsh. QUIT asap! Seen few of my friends going psycho due to stress. Medicine as a subject isnt that tough actually compared to maths. i think working life would be worse than student'. sleep all u want. listen well in lecture and come back home and do some reading on topic u learn everyay. study 3 hrs a day. and dont forget to do some sports and spend time with group of friends from same faculty or different faculty. cheers. need any help , may email me

I know this sounds old fashioned, but eating healthy and staying active are the best ways to improve your overall energy level, attitude and health. As another poster mentioned, most med students tend to run on empty. Make sure you are putting your health first and you can't go wrong. Even if you are eating 3 balanced meals a day and walking for 30 minutes, it will do wonders.
Stay organized! getting behind and not being organized can create a quick downward spiral! Make sure your papers, desk, files, etc... are organized so you don't get overwhelmed.
If this doesn't help. review your contentment with your chosen field. Is this what you really want? If you find something else interests and motivates you more, think about changing.
Good luck!

Most med students are running on empty because they aren't getting enough sleep overall. Although it sounds counterintuitive if you want to do better (and feel better/alert), you need to schedule in some time to sleep. Trust me, you'll do a lot better in class.

Good Diet and exercise. I know it sounds too simple, but it's true. A good balanced diet with lean meats, fruits, veggies, low fat dairy, and whole wheat breads ..and 30 minutes of exercise per day..is what it takes to feel good, and energetic and lower depression risks.
Good Luck, and go see your doctor&nutritionist, NOW!
P.S. Remember to drink a gallon of water a day and take a daily multi-vitamin.

maybe you could change your major to biomedical engineering. That's what I am in. It is wonderful. You can come up with devices such as stints, prosthetics, and a million other things that can help doctors out.
