Hi everybody, as some of you know Iīm preparing for 2CK but I donīt know why the hell iīm feeling in this way, i feel sad, without energy to study. Itīs not a major depressive dz, itīs only sadness without any cause, and no energy. As I consider you like a strong support for this, PLEASE ADVISE ME what can I do, what do you do (if this has happened to you in your way of preparation for steps) to feel better ?

dont feel sad, its always up and down for everyone so u r not alone. what i think would help is to take some time off, a little break where u completely forget about the exam and study even for a few hours, if not a whole day, and do something u like, like movie, walk etc...
i think that should help get ur energy back. i also feel that way sometimes and it helps me. so try to do something nice for yourself 
hope this helps.

I sometimes feel sad since what i am doing now is all new thing for me, the whole usmle prep. I am leaving everything behind for better study. My job, my leisure, my friends. I sometime doubt if i can last till it's finished. Everything's happening so fast. I have to cope with the situation. I can tell you some thing. Forget all other things. Clear the mind. Focus on one thing. Try to meditate in ancient way or simply close your eyes with doing nothing but regular full breathing for 5-10 minutes.
Cheers

Try changing your environment..try studying some paediatrics in a cafe for an hour or two..or play some soothing music while u read some surgery...chill out man..it's just another test...

Thank you springd, 123mle and nisha for your words. I really feel your support, itīs nice to know Iīm not alone and that many of us have up and down in this way of preparation for the steps (of course, more for an IMG like me). Thank you, sincerely.
