Pls help 🙏 i am student can't able to focus
I am a JEE aspirant, and because I am taking a drop year, I scored only 68.2% in CBSE Class 12, which is very low. I can’t even get into a good college. For the last 1.5 years, I have been going to the library every day and trying to study consistently, but it has been extremely hard for me to focus.
To maintain focus, I used to wake up at 5 AM and do 40 minutes of yoga, 40 minutes of pranayama, and 30 minutes of meditation daily. I even used strict software to block distractions and force myself to study, but despite all this effort, I still could not score well.
What frustrates me is that this routine felt very unnatural. I see other students managing school and JEE preparation without needing such intense routines, but for me, it felt like I needed all of this just to achieve a normal level of focus. Eventually, I stopped following the routine, and after that, I completely lost my ability to focus during coaching lectures and studies.
I even locked myself in a room with nothing to do except eat and study, but I still couldn’t focus. Now I feel like I have lost my ability to think logically or even speak properly because my mind is constantly distracted. I genuinely feel that I might have ADHD, because even to work hard or study properly, I need my brain to function well, and right now it doesn’t.
The problem is that I cannot convince my parents to take me to a psychiatrist. After seeing my result, they may not want to invest more in me, and I also come from a closed-minded family where mental health is not taken seriously. I feel very helpless right now because I know I have one more chance to prepare for JEE, but I am scared that if my focus problem continues, I will waste this opportunity too.
Please recommend some medications or something that could genuinely help me focus and study better, because I am really tired of struggling like this every single day.
As a man, I feel a strong responsibility to succeed in life and support my family.
