Hi everyone. It's been a long time and I don't know how many people remember me. Just a brief backstory, I came here when I wanted to end my life during graduate school. I had been bullied to the point where the only thing I wanted was to not be anyone's punching bag anymore and the only way to do that was to die. I had a violent parent growing up. The last time I posted here I was in a violent relationship, in a job I hated, and was being bullied again by another user on here. It was too much. I left. I'm sure my posts are still available if anyone wants more details.

Well, I broke up with my abusive ex, quit that job, and got into medical school. I'm graduating next year and I'll be a doctor.

I'm not fixed or recovered. I don't know that I can ever be healed from what has happened to me. But, apart from the bully, so many on here helped me through the dark times when I wanted to end it. I feel that way today after some things have become too much. Yes, I suppose I deal with it better these days because it's now going to be my job to help everyone else. But while I'm here, I wanted to let my friends know how I turned out. Maybe this helps some of you?

Sending congratulations on doing the hard journey of breaking out of an abusive relationship, and quitting the bad job, getting accepted into medical school and additionally all the work entiailed in studies and rotations, etc. I hope your health continues to be good and flexible.

It's valuable and a really nice thing to do to come back here and tell the story of your changes. Gives hope and shines a realistic light on difficulties; thank you.

Good luck with the last part of medical school, and congrats again on becoming a doctor.
