Disappointed with results

Hello seniors, I recently got results of my 1st professional examinations. It’s nothing to write home about but the one thing that kind of hurts the most is me not being able to get a distinction in Physiology.

So throughout the entire year I fell in love with physiology. I felt like it was the first time I was actually having fun reading. I used to read Guyton in my free time and it’s just an amazing book. I feel like I’ll always keep my copy with me till my final year along with my notes lol. I have never felt so in awe of a subject before and it was my first time. I hope the following years also shape me intellectually.

Naturally I wanted to get a distinction (I think mostly to feel validation, sorta? I’m a first generation medical student so yeah, any kind of praise is very worth-it to me.) and I didn’t. So now I am just self pitying and moping around. I wanted to ask you seniors, how to get out of this slump?

Also would like to thank a lot of the people on this sub because you are the people who helped me pass comfortably in my professionals :) thank you!
