its been 20 days since i took my step 2 cs. somehow my ck preparation is going at a snail's pace. i started with ob-gyn but am barely halfway thru. dont know what to do. all my motivation to study is gone. i gave a disastrous step 1 in may. flunked it got 73. since then i just feel like giving up. i had already filled out my step 2 form so have to take that before i reattempt step 1. my hope for matching this year has been dashed. how will i survive another year sitting at home. on top of that i have been so ill this year beginning feb , 1 illness after another. was recently hospitalised for ac pancreatitis and now have been diagnosed with celiac ds. i kind of have given up hope of ever becoming a doc in this county.
somebody please motivate me to study. i am desperate.

anash, we have given more than 2 decades to our academic life, and will be giving much more. i understand the past year was pretty tough, but just keep faith, in urself and God...well ive had a dificult year too, but the way i snap out of it is to think ' if this were to happen when i wud be alone in the US, i wudnt be quite happy' .. yrs later, the one yr u lost will seem a drop in the ocean. dont sit at home if u dont like it. try doing some research, preferably in the speciality ure interected in and ur CV's gonna blossom 
forget the books. try doing Qs...dont start on the well recommended UW coz it will simply depress u further. do kaplan Q book instead. actually before that, just treat urself to some time off. a break wud feel good. just coz u didnt match this year duznt mean ure a total failure. happens to loads of ppl, and all that matters in the end,is that u DONT give up.
i hope God gives u the strength to deal with the struggles in ur lfe. I pray He blesses u millionfold .

hmm , youre right . thank you for your encouragement. thats what i think too, 5 yrs will go down the drain if i dont write these exams. i have now set a target for myself. got to complete OB-GYN in the next 5 days. today i am watching the videos. dr elmar sakala's tapes are too good. lets hope i keep my target. tonight i will do some ques from from kaplan q book.
keeping my fingers crossed.
i already took a break, went to orlando for the labour day weekend. so now got to get serious and motivated.
thanks again study_ing.
