Dr. Saima,
Don't quit with Biochem!!! I was in the same boat last couple of weeks.Though I have called it an end with Biochem right now I will come back to revise it as I did not have good absorption when I did the chapters.
I developed two statergies to unsaturate my brain when it happened to me.
I realised taking breaks to read some other subject by the side might muse our brains.Do first few easy chapters of another subject (Physio/pharma)alongside.
Also tell yourself that though you are doing a good job it is not moving faster.Plan to do only 1-2 chapters/day in Biochem.This will probably trick our brain to become happy to finish those pages ASAP.
Let's see if it helps for you.

This is awsome!!!!!
just what I needed..... some inspiration.
someone to keep me on track!!!!
I was out of my books for so long that sometimes I just feel stupid when I cannot remenber stuff I know I had studied before.
But eventually I am getting it, I just need a little of disipline... although I'm afraid it is kind of late to me because my test is in september and I just started, after being out of school for 3 years.
I am totally scared!!!!!!!!!1

I know , it is ridiculous to ask abt quitting ? But, my mind is not working today... I need somone to tell me honestly, what should I do?
I had spent last ten years without studying, suddenly I thought that now perhaps I can do it, since my son is going to KG now, but... I had a good start... my family came over ... for 3 months... I couldnt read anything... I am again standing where I started...
Today some one asked me to do masters or something else like Ultra sound course...
I dont know... being a mother of three, usmle is hard, after ten years of studies its even harder(cant focus more than 20 minutes).... and without any support ... I think its impossible. And than being muslim with head scarf... ppl say no one will accept me in any interview.
Should I quit...

Hello doc: I know this is not an easy road, and probably I'm not the right person to advice you what to do......In the end, is your choice the only thing that matters
It's not easy, but it is no impossible....!
Ask yourself what you want?????
What is gonna makes you happy?------Usmle?.....a master?.....US course???
analize pros and cons......
After that you choose...Good luck....

Hi!! saima, u've come too far to quit now. i knoww 3 months is a long break but start where u left off dont start from the beginning. Quitting now is the easy way out. Dont in the long run its not worth it. and u will always wonder if u did the right thing.
Start with goljan lectures. listen to the lectures along with the rapid review book side by side. it will help u bring back u r confidence becoz, it encopasses all the subjects, so u get a little bit of everything.
dont give up now. its too late to give up!!!!!

Quitting now is taking the easy way out. And if u do quit u will always wonder if u did the right thing. School is starting, so u will have atleast 9-2 that is 5 hrs. do 2hrs of q's and 3 hrs of reading a subject. in the nights after kids go to sleep do Rapid review with lectures or FA or more q's. Just give the exam before it is summer time and schools out again. once u finish with step 1 the others will follow.. do house hold chores and cooking etc when kids r back from school .SCHOOL TIME IS U R STUDY TIME. dont start from the beginning, start from where u left off . the others u can come back to them in u r next review.

i used to have the same prob family coming over. then i realised that this family is the one that keeps putting me down that i have;nt given my exams yet. so i told my sis not to come for vacation till my exam is over. i could'nt tell that to my sis in law, my bros wife so when they came on vacation i did my cooking and stuff with goljan ringing in my yrs and when i wasnt cooking i was studying. i refused to go shopping or out becoz i had to study but they were most welcom to take the car and go out. they got the message and when they were in the US the next time they visited for just 2 days. honestly i dont care anymore. becoz nothing is more important than this exam right now becoz it means a better future for me and my kids. also better self confidence and self esteem. i need to do this for myself and i believe the same holds for u too.
u were my inspiration i told u that before, so dont give up just yet.

hi Saima, there are many like you, so dont think of quitting, mj mentioned some good strategy, i know it would be extremely overwhelming if you have guests for 3 months. Never quit, we all more or less, same pages, so, inshallah, we can all do it! Goodluck!

@ Karime, MJ, Antidepressent and unique
I dont know how to thank you... but I can just pray for all of you, that may you find success in this world and in hereafter.
I have been thinking and thinking and thinking...... I come to the conclusion that I should do it.,I should not give up.. but there are so many hurdles in the way.
1) I cant concentrate ... I like to study with any partner, and I tried before... but somehow my timings doesnt meet with anyone... So, I really want to discipline myself to study alone.
2) My stamina drained up if I do any chore... which I have to do... What you guys do, how you do excercise ,any thing else.
3) Cant concentrate
4) Cant concentrate...
But, I have to try harder.. I know I will become severly worried again... so please help me again.
Take care

Dear Saima, don't be negative, you have no idea, how negativity kill us, we say those negative words, and it spreads in our system, and eventually we make it true. Like people say" watch, what you are asking". So, try to give up the negativity. Be positive. I read my journal for 1 hour yesterday, and i saw how much negativity i have. I dont have study partner either, so, its ok, you can do it by yourself, just make a good study plan. and Say, " i can do it, i can concentrate, i am learning" . After a long break, its tough to concentrate, so, in the beginning you will face it for may be 3 or 4 days, thats ok, accept it. Be happy of whatever you accomplish, then make it tougher. And in the future never take a break too long, even if you are gone for a week or so, try to read even 30 min a day, that will make you feel connected. YOU CAN DO IT, and YOU WILL INSHALLAH DO IT. ALL the best!

The whole Quran has this unbelievable way of amazing me. Its beautifully poetic verses and breath taking words just settle in my heart and mind so warmly. Though the whole Quran has the power to make me feel like everything will be okay, there is one verse that absolutely wins my heart. That verse is "On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear" 2:286. (This verse is also repeated in 6:152, 7:42 and 65:7).
I can not think of any other verse in the Quran that empowers me as much as this one does.
On NO soul does Allah place a burden GREATER than it can bear.

yeah drsaima, our Holy Book has all that we need....when we are down, we can recite Surah Rehman and there we have:::::: an amazing feel that takes us out of the sadness..and Surah Yaseen to gives us the confidence that there is SomeOne, so Strong and Powerful, and He will take us to the shore when we are drowning!
I strongly believe that if we work hard, really work hard.........and ask Almighty for His Blessings......the best will be ours!
Best of luck buddy!
