Lonely

I’m a nontrad first year med student and a mom. Before starting school I was a stay at home mom and it was honestly one of the loneliest and most isolating times of my life. I was so excited to start school and hoped it would allow me to make friends and build a community, but that hasn’t been the case.

As a mom, my life looks very different from most of my classmates. I see groups already forming and getting close, and it’s making me feel that same level of loneliness all over again. I feel like I have nothing in common with anyone. I just feel like something is wrong with me.

Idk why I’m even writing all this out. I guess I’m just feeling down and need to get it off my chest.
