Dr. Bob, tell me about med school so that I may live a little through you.
I wish I went to med school. :-(
I got a scholarship when I started uni, I had good grades, but I ruined it all. I've messed up my grades and my life. Pdoc suggested med school during my first year. I started off ok, but then I ruined it all.
Med school would have been interesting.
I wish I were more hard working like my sister. I wish I was more resilient and less mentally unstable. I wish I could live a normal life.
I look up to you. I wish I could be more like you. I'm such a loser. University was a given for me because my grades were good. I got into all the good universities in Canada, but I wasted everything. Now I have nothing. I don't know why I don't want to die. I should.
All my high school friends are doing much better than me, even the ones who didn't go to university. They all have normal lives. They've gotten married, have careers and have children.
Why I am so developmentally delayed? I'm 28 and I've never lived away from my parents. I have no close friends outside of Babble. My Mom still does everything for me. My greatest feat of independence has been my going on Babble trips.
My sister turned out fine. She has a boyfriend she is going to spend the rest of her life with. She's getting her Ph.D in biochemistry. She lives with her boyfriend.
I've achieved nothing in life. I hope there is such a thing as reincarnation. I want a fresh start.
My life is just beyond redemption. I've ruined everything.
Sorry, I went on a tangent. Please tell me about med school. I want to live vicariously through you.

I must have been talking to imaginary Bob again. I'm probably losing my mind a little.

Deneb, no one is beyond redemption (and I don't mean this in any religious sense); change is always possible. You can always veer off in a new direction. You might think about why you want to be like somebody else (Dr. Bob, you sister) and think about what you want to be & could be. I'm almost 60 and I feel I've wasted a lot of chances, but I've accomplished a few things too. I'd love to be 28 again -- with my present knowledge, of course! You have lots of time to develop into a person with autonomy and self-worth.

Yeah, you're right. Pdoc says I shouldn't compare myself to other people. I can't lament about the past. All I can do is move forward. I just wish I were younger and had more options.
The fact of the matter is, for whatever reason, I'm no longer have competitive grades in uni. I get them sometimes when I study hard, but mostly I am lazy now. I think I can do moderately well if I really try, but the trouble is that I would rather sleep than study most days.
I read an article about people possibly being able to find out what career suits you best with an brain imaging in the future. That would be cool. I don't don't what I want.
Sorry about this being on admin Dr. Bob, I had am impulsive, irrational moment. Please move to social.
Everyone, please reply on social. I don't want to make Dr. Bob's life any harder.
