thx a lot my friends!!!!i completed renal pharmacology also.....but somehow i feel that what i've learnt is not sufficient.something is lacking!!!! :roll: :roll:

yesterday was pretty well....but one thing that i dont understand is.....i can study well only for one part of the whole day....either in the morning or evening.i never studied well for the whole day....is it normal.... :roll: :roll: :wink:

yesterday i cud do....diuretics,did some Q....no too many just 17 of them scored really very bad :cry: ,then i started endocrines with hypothalamo-pitutary harmones.....completed adrenal harmones....(physio part) :lol:

i can see that integration of the 3 subject really helps in the endocrine section....there is so much overlapping here.but at the same time is taking a lot of time.but really helps us!!! :wink: 8)

ok ...now for today...

# revise renal physio

# adrenal and pitutary pathology(goljan)

# ADH(physio & patho)

# pancreas and diabetes

# growth harmone

oooooohhhhh lot of portion for today... 8)

hope i can complete that!!! :lol:


  #177

Just hang in there,you will be fine!
I am confident as even i am facing same bad scores like you in qbank. But still i have hopes .I think by reading kaplan notes again and again ,i will improve.
Hope you finished with your today's task.
bye...

  #178

thx krushna!!!

i cud not complete my set target for today :oops: .i cud not do the patho part of any harmone :cry: :oops: :icon_scratch: .....ya but i did catecholamines and calcium and phosphate regulation in physio..... grin

tomorrow is last day for endocrines and reproductive system.....but i think i need another day to complete them.i'm nowhere in the end to complete them. :roll: :? :evil: :x

today i'm very tired....feeling very sleepy. :icon_sleep: :icon_sleep:

ok so for tomorrow....as much as i can from the below topics... :roll:

# pancreas endocrines.

# male reproductive system.

# female reproductive system.

#listen all the webprep lectures in endocrine physio.

g/l

better to learn this stuff well. I think stuff like this, esp endocrine is worth the extra time.

its very complicated and confusing if you dont get things straight in your head.

  #180

hope you are doing well kiran!
Just keep it up.
I am doing renal physio..but gonna flollow ur style of integrating every subject for renal. Hope it will work for me also.
Starting with Goljan lectures. Then i will do renal anatomy,then physio...then patho...and last pharmac.hmm..i wrote down so simply.I know its not going to be simple to work out. But still i wanna try.
howz second reading going on?
whats ur target of finishing ?

  #181

hi imbebo....
really feel happy to see you all in my dairy.....all of you give me lot of inspiration. :lol: :lol:

hi krushna
thx for ur input!!!
this is my second reading as i have said.....but i feel as though its my first reading,while reading....planning to complete by this month ending. :roll: :wink:

actually i planned to take the exam in dec when i started my preparation....but even now(today is dec 1) i stand nowhere to write the exam.....its really depressing...i'm still stuck with the second reading... :? :roll: :shock:

today when i did Q i di it really horrible.... :oops: :cry:

i cudnot even complete endocrines...tomorrow is my last day for endocrines...and i'm still left with hill of portion. :x :roll:

anyways i have to complete it by tomorrow... :x :evil:

# a set of 50Q from bss.

  #194

hello friends
got up just now......will never plan to get up early....... #-o [-X

last night before sleeping i completed anti-anginal drugs.now i'm left with anti-hypertensive drugs and antiarrythmic drugs. smiling face

for today:-
# complete cvs pharmacology

# start cns......anatomy,physiology,pathology,and pharmacology.

i dont think 2 days is sufficient to complete entire cns including neuroanatomy and autonomic drugs as per my previous schedule............so i'll take 3 days to complete it.so by 10th i should be done with cns. :roll: :roll:

happy studying everyone!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

  #195

niti

  #196

Kiran,

You are doing GREAT! I am so proud of your hard work. <=D> It will pay off big time when you take your exam. grin Reading your entries for the past 2 days has renewed my motivation to attack my studies with the same ferocity as the tiger that is waiting for me in the den. :shock: Keep up the admirable work. I am very inspired to see your earnest dedication and inner strength. grin

Love,
pinkangel

  #197

thx niti and pinkangel for ur encoragement.
but yestrday and today i'm really feeling very much depressed :oops: :oops: .......i was literally crying from yesterday :cry: :cry: sad .neither i cud study anything nor enjoyed the day.i was just cursing my self that cud not study yesterday.i didnot even touch the books......cried like a hell. :cry: :cry:

i just dont want to mention my SO CALLED TARGET FOR TODAY.....i hate myself for not able to do the set portion yesterday.

any words of inspiration/motivation from anyone of you are really appreciated.i'm in need of them now.plz help me friends to overcome this period. :roll:

  #198

hey. don't feel too bad.

we've all been there.

I think anxiety/stress can be our friend and worst enemy. It helps us get up in the morning and start the day off strong, but if we don't accomplish what we want, it makes us feel like crap.

we walk a fine line between hard work and laziness.

but without it, no one would accomplish anything.

Take it in stride, its days like these that make the other days of hard work and accomplishment possible.

g/l today.

  #199

Good morning Kiran!

I had to write to you. Don't fret too much. I can imagine how horrible you're feeling now. I was in very much the same state as yourself - maybe worse the past few days. :? I was a sobbing, depressed mess not too long ago. Thinking how hard my friends on this forum were studying made me cry harder. :oops: I was feeling so low - even my pet fish looked like it had a better and happier life than me. I would look at the squirrels running around my front yard in the morning and start to wish I could have a simpler life.

You see how my state of mind was? If you can understand that, then you're not alone. I think many of us are too ashamed to post how we really feel sometimes - especially the times of extreme depression and desperation. Kudos to you for being brave and reaching out for encouragement. I took the chance and did the same thing last night. I was a mess. Talk about major periorbital edema. :shock:

Now I am back in the university library this morning doing some studies and computer Q bank before hitting the Kaplan center this afternoon. I had no idea that I would be able to do this a few days ago while curled up in fetal position crying my eyeballs out like a big baby. I was so ashamed of myself, what would niti, kiran, moctopod, krushna, and all my prep4usmle friends think if they could see me? If I was able to get back up and step into the ring again, then you will too. You have the strength - I see it.

I hope my words will help you to regain the strength that you have shown over the past several weeks. I have faith in you. When I go to church this Sunday, there will be many friends that I will be keeping in my prayers. God will strengthen and renew all of us. You will be one of those special friends that I will keep in my prayers.

Keep up the fight - if you need to cry your eyeballs out for another day, do it until you can't cry anymore. It's good to purge all those negative feelings out before you can start fresh. I look forward to seeing you back in fine form very soon. :P

Love,
pinkangel

Hi Kiran...
I am just back on track from those depressive thoughts. I can understand your condition. We all feel the same. But what is important is to win over it. Do whatever you want to do today,express your self with your dear ones. Cry a lot. Just let it come out. Give yourself time.
whatever amount of time...lets say 1/2 day or 1 day....
AND AFTER THAT STOP......Tell your mind that its enough ! I need to work on it now. Make a solid feasible plan and follow it.

Have you read the book.."You can win". If not please go through it.
There is one chapter on setting goals. read it.

You are in USA , you can find it easily in Barnes & Noble or Borders.
My best wishes are with you...

Arise..Awake..............
I should not remind you.
