As I have really gotten deep into my study regimen for these last 2 weeks leading up to Step 2 CK I have noticed a serious aversion on my part to studying in any of the areas on campus that I used to study in during my first and second years of medical school. The trauma of studying for test after test during those first two years (especially Step 1) has literally caused me to be anxious every time I walk back into those areas. Sure there may be some PTSD symptoms here, but I’ve noticed the problem, which is the first step to recovery. Either way, I have relegated myself to simply studying outside or in buildings on campus that I rarely frequent.
