Hi Sahashra .This happens some times.
Write your plan for the day on your journal and try to do only that .And at the end of the day come back and see what you didnodnod.Stick to your plan come what may.
Have a good day

hi fd,
i was very much inspired by your journal.
thank you for visiting.
yes what you said is correct.
but the problem with me is i dont plan realistically and i fail.

this was my largest mistake in atep1 i paid alot becos of that.
I DONT WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN.
dont REPEAT YOUR MISTAKES.

hi,
how is everybody doing?
sterday i was hit by a depression episode.
if some small thing happens against me sometimes i feel very despair.
i spend my total day in crying.
ok i pulled all my strength again and started to fight again.
i can do that.
i erased all my bad things.
i planned my next target, i am going to give exam on june 14th., with full prep.
its hard to follow very tight schedule.
today is complete paediatrics.
i wasted some time helping husband.
finished, cvs, rs, git, rhema. i am going to do that.
i am going to perform my first day very well.
my exam is made up of many everyday battles to complete my sylabus.
Good luck to all

Good luck on your prep and don't bit yourself too much if you don't respect your schedule! With focus and determination, YOU WILL ALWAYS SUCCEED!smiling face

Hi sahashra how is you study going,
are you going according to your plan,Did it work out for you
Keep up the good work
have a nice day

  #11

hi,
it went ok, not really good.
i was able to complete systems.
i came to general paeds today.
but the problem with paeds is i dont feel confident even after reading it.
but anyway i will try hard.

Friends i just want to share my problem,
if you advice me regarding this that would be great help, i dont know whom to ask.
my husband always expects help from me, it was excess for me to write even his studying schedule.
he is preparing for step 1, i always think of him how can i make him to read?
i buy books on line having he asked once, but he wont read them
i was overwhelmed with all these things and said see its hard for me to do everything
i expressed this, but i am not good in communications.
he said ok he said he is expecting some help, but he demands help in the middle of night, when you are not ready to do it.
i am very poor in obeying others, i am bit egoistic may be.
everytime i feel like i solved everything, but it will be as it is.
i dont know how to say i can help you but think for yourself, small things, organize at least your studies.
i cant write step1 for him.
after doing all this he will say get residency i will follow you.
i know its not easy for me to get into residency that easy, it will come only if you involve your heart, soul.
friends, i feel like i should take some advice from somebody.
but i have no body, to tell.
pls tell me how to communicate that dont expect things to be done by wife, they has to be planned.
God i will get hurt by even single word, i feel like i cant change anything, either depend completely
or feeling like nobody there to help.

hi,
its 6 pm now.
my plan to wind up paeds, uw 4 blocks, lets see

  #13

hi,
i did one uw block, got 67%, i crossed 30/50
only 5 marks to go.
inference:-
know the common things in paeds very well.
they have to give some clues to dx.

Hi Sahashra I am so sorry this is not the time to face more stressing things,even though they are small.Dont blame yourself or your hasband for what is happening because you both are going through the stress of preparing for ECFMG besides supporting yourself and taking care of other things.Evey problem you are facinng now is teporary it is not permanent,and you are both doing this to have a better life and better outcome
So when ever you face problems say to your self i can overcome come what may.
In life many things can be solved by discussion specally when it comes to marital relationship.Dont keep any thing to your self but talk about it ,bring the matter to the table ,Express your feeling to your mate in a way he can understand it.Dont be argumentative be a good listner before giving un answer try to convince him by reasoning .If he has a point to convince you accept and do it.It might not be possible to
reach to a point that can make both of you equally happy but you have to think it this way life is not always about recieving bet it is also about giving and there more happyness in giving than recieving.I know there are many things you are doing just out of love even though you dont agree about it.The important point is this shouldn't make you angery but feel happy about it.
I know this things are difficult spically when you have many things to take care of in this critical times but i am shure you will over come it.
Have a good day my friend

Hi fd,
your words are true.
you brought a relief to me.
i was completely confused what shall i do now.
i was thinking about some counselling or some book on relations.
yes now i feel i am troubling him during this hardtimes.
i am not understanding, but i will.
i will say to my self he do have exam, every time, i feel overhelmed.
with love, with Gods grace hope we will complete this hurdle.
i had a good night sleep. ready to do my work dedicatedly.


today,
yes angel123 said was right.
write the things you want to complete, make a plan.

finished with paeds except 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15.
the chapter i fear is fluid balance, rest i will go over fastly.
i have got to do surgey as well today.
but i am confused, to do questions in the end first or theory.
but i did the video before, so i will cover the theory first.
good luck girls
