I am estranged from my father side of the family and my mother is a bit emotionally closed off but I stay at her place when I am on break. I have a brother but he's off doing his own things. I am worried about starting school in the summer, i know it will be hard and all but I am not sure if not having support from family (FGLI here) will affect me. I will be alone during the white coat ceremony without any family rooting for me and will prob buy myself flowers at a grocery store afterwards, which isn't the best start. I will be moving to Boston for school and I have 2-3 friends I know there. I just am afraid that med school and residency will be so much harder for me and that there is a risk of me falling behind or failing. What should I do, I feel so sad, I have a therapist but I am scheduled for 2 weeks so I would appreciate any advice :C
