Navigating med.school is an ongoing process for me right now, she says and the workload (just as in life generally) could impact one's mental health and well being BUT these are some of the ways I cope and I hope it helps someone listening.

1. Your support system is important - Friends, Family, anyone that means anything to you. Where you can vent, talk and generally just be yourself.

2. Do YOU! Always find what works for you. You cannot want to run someone else's race, do what works for you.

3. Remember always, that no-one is an Island. You need people or you will FAIL!!

4. It's OK to be tired BUT don't let it get the better of you.

5. Drop your phone sometimes. Take a walk, sleep. Just CHILL!
