"You are so full of negativity"
is probably one of the most repeated line directed towards me by my mother.

During last week's Closing The Gap online training for mentors, one of the activities include being allocated into breakout rooms with three people in each where we had to roleplay as the student and the mentor. I acted as the student. The feedback given to me by my partner whom I had only met a few minutes before was,
"Sorry, I'm a medical doctor. You sound depressed."

What do you get when you combine a week of sleeping after 3AM, PMS, guilt of being unable to be productive in writing a research paper not in your interest area, overthinking of the future, and crushing low self-esteem?
Today as I cried in the afternoon to sleep, these thoughts were repeated in my head,
"You have nothing to be proud of."
