Encouragement
It has been interesting to see how much has changed in my life, especially in the past two months. God has literally brought me to my breaking point not too long ago. I have never been in such a position as this one. Through it, God has brought a great deal of resolve in my life, as well as support, encouragement, and accountability. I have noticed that my overall demeanor is changing, and much for the better. I am not nearly as pessimistic as I used to be. I do not go around with such a downtrodden, melancholy, despised manner. Everything is going to be more than sufficient in my different aspects of my life: medical school, a job, a place to live, and the list goes on and on. I truly feel like one of my gifts is the ability to have compassion for people as well as empathize and have a standing ground to be able to talk to them. I know that God will use this in my future profession to be able to talk to patients with their own problems in life. It is always helpful to talk to someone that has been in your position before but has pushed through and persevered. I am excited to be this kind of person. I anticipate the future......

Friend, I think you should pick up a collection of Carl Jung's work on psychology and discipline yourself to read through it, no matter how dense or repulsive it might seem. I feel as though you and I are somehow a similar type of person with similar ways of looking at the world and similar ways of handling our trials, except that what you write here sounds like me from about 3 years ago. Anyway, the Jung stuff has been very enlightening for me (not in a spiritual sense mind you but an intellectual one, as in, the communication of a paradigm shift) and I just feel as though you might find it similarly engaging and thought-provoking.
