Prepping for PET, UPPCS & AHC ARO simultaneously — can't divide my subjects, can't hit my targets, and now I'm just brain fogged. How do you actually manage multi-exam prep?

**•**	Finished Modern History GC, Ancient History GC, and Science GC  
**•**	Currently on Geography GC + Lucent for PET  
**•**	Still need to start proper AHC ARO prep alongside all this  
**•**	Have to revise everything I already finished (it's fading fast)  
**•**	I'm a slow reader, so my daily targets keep slipping no matter how I plan them

The real problem is I can't divide subjects across the week in a way that actually works — I either overload a day and burn out, or I spread things so thin nothing gets covered properly. And now with revision piling on top of new topics, I'm just frozen. Brain fog, anxiety, the whole thing.

Has anyone here prepped for multiple PCS-type exams at once? How did you split your week between new syllabus, revision, and slower reading speed? Any timetable structure that actually held up for you would help a lot right now.

Preparing for civil services and fighting with my own body .. since 10 years Did I chose the right path?

I’m a 25-year-old female preparing for UPPCS, and I’ve been living with chronic pain since 2017.
One of the hardest parts of this journey isn’t the syllabus—it’s my own body.
People often say, “Study 8–10 hours a day,” “Go to the library,” or “Just stay consistent.” I wish it were that simple.
I can’t sit for long because the pain becomes unbearable. I often have to alternate between sitting and lying down just to get through lectures. Studying in a library isn’t an option for me because my body simply won’t allow me to stay seated for hours.
Lately, my pain and discomfort have become much worse. I’m unable to complete my daily targets, I lose focus, and I constantly feel like I’m falling behind. My mind wants to study, but my body doesn’t cooperate.
It doesn’t stop with my preparation. Some days I can’t even do basic household chores or help my family the way I want to. Living with chronic pain affects every part of my life.
The part that hurts the most is the comparison. I often wonder how I’m expected to compete with healthy aspirants whose bodies allow them to study for hours without pain. They can attend long classes, sit in libraries all day, and follow demanding schedules. Meanwhile, I’m spending a part of every day just trying to manage my pain well enough to function.
I’m not saying preparation is easy for anyone. Every aspirant has their own struggles. But living with chronic illness means fighting an invisible battle alongside the exam itself. People only see the hours you couldn’t study; they don’t see the pain that took those hours away.
I still show up every day and do whatever my body allows me to do. Some days that’s enough to make progress. Other days, just getting through the day is an achievement. I only wish invisible illnesses were understood as much as visible ones.

I’m not asking for medical advice but Doctors kept telling me it was in my head. Now I can barely sleep because of the pain.

I’m 25 years old, and for the last 2 months I’ve been having constant pain on the right side of my ribs, and sometimes it extends into the right side of my abdomen. The pain has gradually been getting worse.
The biggest problem is when I try to sleep. If I lie on my back, I feel like I can’t take a full breath. It’s as if my lungs want to expand, but I can’t get enough air in, and taking a deep breath hurts. I keep changing positions—from my back to my side to my stomach—but after a while the discomfort and breathing difficulty come back. Because of this, I can’t sleep peacefully anymore.
The pain is now interfering with my daily life. I’m exhausted because I can’t rest properly, and it’s become really distressing.
I’ve also been living with chronic pain since 2017. Over the years, I’ve repeatedly been told that my symptoms were “just anxiety” or “all in my head,” and I often felt that my concerns weren’t taken seriously. Whether or not that explanation was correct, it left me hesitant to seek help again. Now that these symptoms are getting worse, I’m becoming increasingly worried.
Has anyone experienced something similar—especially pain that worsens when lying down or taking a deep breath? If so, what was the cause in your case?
I know Reddit can’t diagnose me, and I’m not looking for a diagnosis. I’m just hoping to hear about other people’s experiences while I arrange to get this checked by a doctor.

Need a fiction recommendation that’s worth buying

I’m a 25-year-old woman preparing for competitive exams, and I deal with chronic pain, so most days I’m either studying or trying to recover from the mental exhaustion. Instead of doomscrolling, I want to get back into reading.
I want to buy a novel, but I don’t want to waste money on something forgettable. I’m looking for fiction that’ll stay with me long after I finish it—something meaningful, immersive, and comforting in its own way.
I’ve been thinking about trying Haruki Murakami, but I’m not sure if he’s the right choice.
If you could recommend one book that’s genuinely worth owning, what would it be and why?

To the girl who disappeared overnight…..

Yesterday we talked for hours.
You were preparing for GATE. You shared your dreams, your daily routine, and even your to-do list. You told me you wanted to quit smoking, that music and singing meant a lot to you, and we agreed to keep each other accountable.
I came back today to send you my progress, but your account just says [deleted].
I don’t know what happened, but if you ever happen to read this somehow—I hope you’re okay.
I just wish I knew why you disappeared.

25 F from India / currently unemployed and preparing for competitive exams

Sometimes I feel like my life hasn’t really started.
I’m 25, and I haven’t even explored my own hometown. There have always been restrictions, and on top of that I’ve been dealing with an illness for the last 10 years that makes even travelling difficult. Watching people casually go out, make memories, and live their lives feels so far from my reality.
Every day feels the same. Wake up, survive the day, sleep, and repeat. It’s like living in a loop. I don’t really have friends either, so most of the time it’s just me with my thoughts.
I just wish something genuinely good would happen in my life. Something that makes me feel like I’m finally moving forward instead of standing still.
I’d really like to hear from girls around my age (24–27). What does your life look like these days? Are you working, studying, preparing for exams, or figuring things out? How much freedom do you have? Do you travel, hang out with friends, or are you also living a life that’s more restricted than people assume? I just want to know how other women my age are navigating this phase of life.
