I am back from a little nervous breakdown and almost wanting to quit it all. 4 days away from the forum, seems like a lifetime.

I am plagued by lack of confidence and guilt and shame and worry and anxiety. It is easier said than done, 'stop thinking of all that and just channelise your efforts'. I want to, but at times I have felt handicapped.

I was coming back to the forum to gain my inspiration and my determination, but seemed to be going down hill even more.

I am not doing well with the questions and that has been causing me a lot of panic. I am depressed after doing questions and I wasn't being able to concentrate on my my reading.

To think of the fact that I have actually gone through these book over 6 times in the last 2 years does not help at all.

Right now I have only you guys to thank for. I appreciate your support. I have been honest about my failures and my weakness here, when it is so difficult to do that in person.Inspite of it all all you have come and patted my back for my smallest of achievements and given me a push when I most needed it.

I am now back with what I think is renewed vigour. I so want to take my exam by August end but I don't want to be foolish. So I have asked for an extension of three months. I will definitely take my exam by first half of September. I am not looking to extend it, but I have done this for my mental sanity.

Again I want to thank you all for being here. I don't know how I would come out of this had it not been for you to check on me.

Edie: I have been studying but I have been very emotionally down. Completely lacking any confidence. Now I feel I am back in the game. Questions are killing me.

Shwe: Thanks, I know what you are saying and I appreciate your straigh forwardness.

Study499: I appreciate your confidence in me.Thanks I will keep doing this time I get 'em suckers. :P

Mytime: Yes in my mind I am still taking the exam on 29th. Who knows I actually might.

Kity: You are so right. Negative thoughts are a real killer. Thanks for your input. I am going to remember it.

Acintya: I was into my books alright, but the chin is just about rising now.

KG: Not really , but I am going to keep going. :P *pun intended*

P2B: Thanks, I love your confidence in me.

MDU , glad you're back .

Keep it up.

Hey medocuk.. I'm sorry that you're feeling down. I feel the same way at times . I will definitely pray for you. Studying is a very stressful thing esp. when we try to push ourselves too much esp. w/ stress from other people also BUT you did the right thing, if you're not ready then postpone your exam. That's what I am going to do too.
Be brave & don't loose confidence. It's easier said than done but be brave okay!!
You'll be fine. We'll all succeed. Pray.. HE is the ONLY one who can help us in stressful times like this.

  #527

heyy I am glad you are bouncing back! Quitting is NOT in your vocabulary GOT IT???

It looks like this stress is a necessary evil that we all have to go thro in order to come out a WINNER! So look at it as a way to spur you on! Not pull you back!

Don't let the negative thoughts get ya grin [even if it is easier said than done grin]

Now I can breathe again, Medoc has posted grin Seriously, though, Med, I am definitely singing the UW blues with you. But I like blues music, so not so bad sticking out tongue Have you tried making tests of only your incorrects yet? I did that this morning. It's as helpful as doing unused random tutor mode, maybe better, because I seem to remember the concepts since I got them wrong on unused timed mode. Check it out smiling face

  #529

Shwe: Thanks, I was around. I was just very low. But now I know I have to do it. So chin up.

Acintya: I agree with you, and no QUIT has been banished from my library.

Edie: No I haven't done that yet. will try it in some days.

KG: Thanks. good luck with USMLE World. It is a killer let me warn u.

  #532

Oh dear Medocuk, good to c u getting yr spirit back again,

Listen, do not get into d questions, YOU R BIGGER THAN THESE QUESTIONSnod, these r there only to learn from them, so what? not getting high marks, its not d real exam, just mean that have to learn & memorize alittle bit more. ANDDDDDDDD

6 times over 2 years is nothing, if u want to count, we have read them 100 time over past good few yrs and should continue reading 4 d rest of our life, this is all about Medicine, keep revising and learning as they r so easily forgotten.so my dear be strong, do not give up NEVER. It is normal to be down, tired and braindead now and again but y r almost there.At last forget all people around u if they r bothering u about the exam.

TRUST YR GOD

GOD NEVER GIVES UP

GOD NEVER SAYS ITS FINISHED UNTIL U SAY SO

Keep reviewing the UW explanations. Look them up in FA, Kaplan, Goljan. Keep making connections and integrations. Then, do more questions. I agree with what study499 wrote about learning and memorization. Keep working, girl, you're going to be alright smiling face


  #534

Study499: Thanks, I will remember that. Thanks again for all your kind words.

Edie: I agree. I will, cos I can. grin Thanks.


Micro questions done: 64% over all.


  #535

Medco, this is for u------

There is a guide that never falters,

And when He leads I cannot stray,

For step by step He goes before me,

And marks my path, He knows the way.

Oft times the path grows dim and dreary,

The darkness hides the cheering ray,

Still I will trust ,tho' worn and weary.

My saviour leads, He knows the way.

He knows the evil that surround me,

The turnings that would lead astray,

No foes of night can ever confound me,

For my Lord leads, He knows the way.
