partial dropper here, prepared whole heartedly and genuinely worked hard for ISI ug 2026 but a stupid health condition really did me so bad during exam. I have TMJD, my jaw joints are dislocated, now occasionally I face really bad migraines becs of this and it gets worse with stress and anxiety, also its incurable.

since few weeks before the exam, I had been dealing with excruciating pain and migraines, on the day of exam it really went all out, UGA looked hard but a lot of questions looked really doable too, but the migraines were so so so bad I literally lost my ability to form basic thoughts, let alone being able to concentrate and use any form of intuitive thinking. To add to this, I got a panic attack thinking all my genuine hard work, months and months of dedication is just gonna go in vain. I didn't count how many I solved but it just isn't enough ik

It's really unfair I genuinely dk what I did to deserve this, I actually worked hard but still messed up even doable questions, even in UGB I completely missed questions like the easy perimeter question or the AM-GM logarithm question, or even the graph question which is exactly smth I practiced in a jee adv book.

ik ISI is never a sure shot but atleast I could have been at peace knowing that I gave my best. Sorry this is jst a rant post ik ppl don't really care much and might think it's all excuses (i really wished it was) but I feel the need to let this out, I'm literally on a crying spree and dk how to move on from this. Happy for everyone who are getting good scores.

Hey everyone, this is kind of a rant becs I really need to let it out, i just can't stop crying...

I was diagnosed with TMJD in 2025 january, normally my TMJD doesn't usually cause much pain or headache, but since last few months my jaw feels really uncomfortable all the time, I can't concentrate, a constant pressure on TMJ, migraines and totally blocked from any form of critical thinking.

On 10th may I had this really important exam passing which would have guaranteed my entry in a elite math college in my country, I've always loved math and never had trouble with intuitive mathematical thinking (which is exactly what the entrance test demands) but on the day of exam the pain hit so so bad, along with that I got struck with a panic attack, all that preparation, whole yr of dedication all gone in vain. I couldn't solve even 5 questions, my hands were shaking I literally had zero thinking ability, all completely doable questions which I have alr practiced but I just couldn't write anything, idk how to cope with this, people might think I am giving excuse to cope with this failure, I genuinely worked hard for this but still I couldn't get 1% of my effort in return all for a stupid headache
