loneliness haunts me in this prep , how do y'all deal with the isolation ?

I mean sometimes it just sucks to be alone here at ORN, you step outside on a sunday evening from your library and there are people in groups everywhere and please don't get me started on these couples everywhere, I mean good for people who are indulging , because it really makes me feel alone, not that I'm desperate for social interactions, and mostly I am studying only, keeping up with my routine, at times this vibrant environment, and being alone amidst this chaos does make me sulk,

does anyone else feel this ? how are you people keeping up with the isolation ?

Struggling to remember and recall points from mains specific notes. Need some good study techniques ?

Hi, people who have dedicatedly prepared for mains or are preparing, no did you memorise all the points, and examples. I am having issues recalling while writing answers.

I realised , we need to read them multiple times, but the time is too less, for all the papers, and each topic has multiple subtopics, thus the bulk is huge.

Please help me out guys ?

single people of ORN, how do you handle burnouts and moments of vulnerability?

I believe , I am the only person who stays in ORN, yet way from it. All I see around is people in relationships, live-ins, and everything you know, people are just so happy everywhere all around. And, then here I am, rarely talk to people, stressed and anxious about my tests, completing the syllabus, recalling what I studied. Nothing of the "ORN stuff" has happened to me, lol.

Loneliness really gets to me sometimes, and I don't see a point in talking to people outside of this race, I hate sympathies. I look around and it's just a blank space. This makes me restless, and I can't focus on my studies. All of this makes me sad, angry, confused at the same time. Idk what's got in me. Does anyone of you resonate to this ? Or, is it me just going crazy

Anyone writing Forum MGP tests ? Maybe we could pair up?

Hi, I am part of a MGP cohort, I am referring to their blueprints + analysing PYQ themes and adding separately whatever is missing. Now while reading and recalling through the notes there is huge lethargy. On top of that indiscipline is kicking in. So I was looking for someone to set targets on reading the blueprints and writing tests in a scheduled manner. Preferably offline, so let me know if you are interested. Also can analyse tests, will help in expanding each other's wisdom.

Massive struggle with consistency. How to be focused throughout ?

I am going through a never ending cycle. I will study for 4-5 days consistently like a rocket , and then move at the pace of tortoise in the next 2 days. Now post these two days I feel guilty of not studying anything, and it makes me overthink, anxious and what not. With this attitude, I don't think I'll clear this exam.

How are you people making your schedule, and staying accountable ? You do you have study groups or people that you study with ? I really need help.

People pls gimme tips on how not give into my physical urges , because I cannot deal with it anymore.

I don't know what to do. Dealing with the constant urge of physical needs is frustrating. I cannot focus on my work, I cannot do anything. My hormones are just crashing through the roof and give into them pathetically. Pls don't advise to not watch p*rn , because I haven't in like 8-9 years. Also, I am single so difficult for me to engage. Do anyone of you go through the same thing ? Can anyone relate at least ?

how do you manage chronic isolation and anxiety that comes along with this prep journey ?

it makes me tremendously depressed, I cannot focus on my work, this whole loneliness makes me an emotional mess, and here in Delhi, don't really have any solid friends, and the moment you step out in ORN, it makes my heart sink. I have to close my books and return to my bedroom, succumbing to all the vulnerabilities, if you face the same situation maybe we could talk ?
