The only thing I ever wanted was to become a doctor. So in 2017 after passing junior high I got enrolled in a prestigious coaching institute that would clump my high school with my prep. The coaching got me enrolled in a new school where I had to go for 3 out of 7 days a week . Initial days were good but slowly I started the negative cycle of comparison and it all started going down the drain. I started neglecting my studies to an extent that by the end of 1st year of high school I had no idea what was even included in the syllabus. I cried, tried to come back on track but to no vain. I still have no idea how I passed my high school. We have to give a medical entrance exam comprising of physics, chemistry and biology after high school to be eligible for studying medicine. I gave the exam in 2019 and scored around 250 out of 720. I was devastated although I expected it. I was some1 who has always been on top of everything I did. So i was super guilty for not even trying. I decided to drop a year without any coaching to study and get through it. Initially all was well but soon I started overthinking how everyone's moved ahead except for me. I sat on my study table with books open but lost in a different world. Even at this point I didn't even know the names of all ch in physics. I did study a bit of biology and in a blink 10 months passed and my exams came. A lot of people got into their dream college, my cousins got married, some went on a trip and all of them were enjoying. Honestly i envied them so much. With not much prep I gave the exam in 2020 and scored around 350. I remember I cried so hard for wasting my time and not studying. Somehow with support of my parents I started preparing again promising myself that I would really study this time and stop feeling lika a failure. I self isolated myself and started studying but soon the same pattern happened again n exams came with me not prepared at all. At this point I don't even know how many times I had cried and lied to my parents. All my batchmates at this point were in college and I was at home. I stopped going to gatherings as i felt ashamed and guilty. I gave 2021 exam as well and to no surprise score 423 Marks. I lied to my parents that I had test anxiety and it made me go blank in test so that I won't break their trust in me. But in reality I still hadn't studied the syllabus for even once. At this point I stopped talking to all my friends. I missed them so much but I felt so inferior that i somehow wanted to avoid them.
At this point I started researching about self sabotage and realised this is what i was doing to myself. I tried to stop and convinced my parents to give me a last chance. My parents especially my father has given his entire life for my future and I really really wanted to make him proud. I swear I really wanted to. So I had like 7 months for final shot but yet again I wasted it in sleeping, overthinking, crying all night (I don't like sharing my problems with others I feel ashamed doing so therefore I never told anyone about what I was going through). Today I came back for exam and I am scoring around 430 . I am ashamed for wasting my parents money, time and energy. I am ashamed for ruining my life with my own hands. I am ashamed of being alive. If there is any god then I hate him for giving me such a pathetic mind and problem to my parents. I am sorry my dear father I really am if i had the courage then I would have killed myself. I am sorry mom for never helping u in anything saying I had to study. I am sorry my dear self for being such a self sabotaging person who ruined 4 golden chances. I don't deserve anything or even being alive. I am 22 now with just failure. People in my country get into med school at 17-21 . that' the average age. N here I am with nothing but misery. Help me someone. Please.

You are young enough to have a successful future. Perhaps if you do a business course and go into business or run your own business you will do better. It would be a good idea for you to see a therapist and get help to stop your self sabotaging.
ReplyI'm 2019 passout, just like you. As much as I know how dreadful you're feeling, I know no level of relatability can help either of us. I gave my exam too and have no courage to check ans keys. My parents have so many expectations from me. I feel devasted. I feel so disgusting for myself that I can't stand myself anymore. I'm feeling awful too. And I too like you never shared my problems with anyone as I felt it's shameful to talk about.
This is really hurtful. If you wanna talk, I can hear you
ReplyI am just so hopelessly stupid that I just wanna end all the pain for once and all but I turns out I am not even courageous enough to do that
ReplyThis pain would never get less I know. Cuz I feel exactly same. Have you filled any other forms? There's an upcoming exam of icar too.
ReplyDo you really want to go to med school?
Maybe you can try other courses. Love your life, you can't give up. Your parents doesn't.... so..
Learn to accept that sometimes things isnt meant for us coz were supposed to be in there somewhere... somewhere we didn't even try to be into.
ReplyThe only thing I ever wanted was medicine. What frustrates me the most is that I know I am capable to go to med school but I am the only one standing in between and ruining my chances every damn time. I wanted to go for business but i couldn't get my head out of 'med school' . I am so hopeless now
