RULE IS TO DROP TO DO LIST AND AT THE EOD DROP IN MOCKS MARKS AND NUMBER OF HOURS STUDIED+CHECKLIST
Hello everyone, I’m 25F.
I’ve always been a high achiever school topper, went to a tier 1 college, graduated in 2023 with big ambitions. After that, I started preparing for competitive exams first UPSC, and now banking this year.
The past 3 years have been… tough. Staying at home, dealing with failures, switching paths, and slowly realizing how overprotected I was it’s been a lot to process. On top of that, my family is going through financial issues, and being the eldest unemployed daughter really weighs on me I was severely depressed until February this year. Things improved a little after that, but now I feel something different like I’ve just gone numb.
I can’t study. I sit with my books but nothing goes in. I don’t feel anxious, motivated, or even sad anymore just empty. No ambition, no dreams, no emotions. It’s like I don’t recognize myself anymore. My exams are close, and I know I should be working hard, but I just can’t get myself to care the way I used to.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of emotional numbness or burnout after years of preparation?
How did you get out of it, especially when exams are near?
I’d really appreciate any advice or even just knowing I’m not alone in feeling this way.
