@HotBloodPrince join the gang already! 😛
HotBloodPrince,The last 50 days have been turbulent and draining emotionally, mentally and physically. The work (productive work) of last 7 weeks could be condensed in 1 week. I don't know if I stand any chance. I don't know if being hopeful could alter things now. I don't know if I can put up a worthy effort in next 6 weeks. I don't know if the future could be changed by present. If this preparation is a 100 metres race and people are already near the finishing line, let me tell you I have not even crossed the starting line. Now, I feel should I even run. A moment of existential crisis, this. The head is full of self critical thoughts longing for what could have been. What hurts the most is you know that it is you yourself who never worked to your potential. Do I even try, ever. Do I even start? John Bingham says, "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." Maybe I should stop thinking, now. I will have to see it through. I will have to run to find out. A quest to know if one can really change the dreaded future of not finding roll number in the Mains selected candidates list again, consecutive years. Do I feel hopeful, determined, confident now ? No. Do I know enough to write 9 papers now? No. Now, I will not think I will do whatever I can. I will run and see it through. I will update where I am.
P.S. Apologies for undiluted emotional outburst. Generally, I am better than this. :)
Dear friends
Just wanted to reiterate thatIt's all matter of few more weeks, and few moredense study sessions. Those 'nearing' the finish line can in no time be out of the race, and those who might think are no where in the race, may turn the table upside down, provided if they utilise the fraction of potential they posses, but are unable to utilise mainly because of the fear of the unknown.
Zyada se zyada kya hoga? Selection nahi hoga. Bus itni si baat?
None of you writing mains is dumb.
None of you writing mains will 'unsucced' in life.
None of you writing mains will die of hunger, or of joblessness.
Believe me, this exam isdesigned to test your anxiety, frustration, desperation, mental health, and your character.
And believe me, many of those, who might be not privileged as us, are cracking it every year. The only thing is ki there stories are not floating in the air. How many of selected candidates you know? One? Two? Three? Ten? That's too less to be considered as a sample size. There are hundreds of selection every year, and it is beyond anyone's capability toseethese humble, faceless, toppers, who may not find any place in the glam sham of media frenzied interviews, and those biased topper's talk. Believe me, it is among this lot, the majority of junta lies. And this lot is bahut had tak just like you.
Writings mains is no menial feat, though it is not the final destination, but you all will appreciate its indeed a confidence booster.Maintain the confidence. Appreciate that ho saqta hai agle saal ye mauka bhi na miley.
I am not an expert. In fact not a prelims expert for that matter. But, do this exercise-write 150 words in the replica of UPSC answer sheet.Saari chinta melt ho jayegi. Yes, it just needs quality 150 words which will fetch you marks.
With the risk of sounding noob, idealist, first timer, etc (nevertheless) yahi kehnaa hai aap sab se kiho jayega. Sabka exam niklega.

same feeling. had emotional breakdown 2 days ago and diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety disorder.
may be I'm not worth it. If I can't handle this pressure this means I'm not meant for it.

Thank you for writing this, my friend.
Chin up, everyone. This is the last lap. Hopefully, never again. 40 days. Woot woot woot woot.
same feeling. had emotional breakdown 2 days ago and diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety disorder.
may be I'm not worth it. If I can't handle this pressure this means I'm not meant for it.
I'm so sorry to hear that. What you're going through must be terrible, but I have complete faith in you. Keep going. Pushing through this pain might be the hardest thing that you've ever had to do, but I promise you, it will all look up. While you are pushing through, do stay in touch with your healing. That is the most important thing. Irrespective of how it turns out for you, you are worth it. :)
Casablanca,HotBloodPrincesame feeling. had emotional breakdown 2 days ago and diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety disorder.

Hii! Take care of yourself. I may not understand the intensity of stress you are going through but I do wish you feel better soon. You will.
As for worth is concerned we are too ignorant and limited as of now to measure our own significance. And whether we are meant for it. For that we can work it out and see it through. What is stopping us anyway, if not we ourselves? Do well. I know we will. :)

Words of Wisdom, indeed......Each point mentioned is very true.
It is NOT Befaaltu Gyan at all.
Many candidates may be going through this same tough phase presently.
Thankyou@12432TrivendrumRajdhani For writing this.
I wish that you get the opportunity to write mains in 2021 and use your wisdom to the best of your advantage in mains. You deserve that.
You share gold standard knowledge here. Thank you. All the best.

Kitna sundar outburst hai, humara toh jama k likhne pe b aisa flow ni ata.😁😁
You da best sadhika ji. Just Keep going! Self doubt at this time is in my opinion not bad. In self doubt we often find refuge to what we have already done. And that what matters in upsc. Often ppl with self doubt, depression (mostly it's anxiety instead of depression) perform better simply for the reason they see practical life more clearly than the others.

Hang in there my friends. You ain’t alone. A lot of us are stuck in the same storm. Each ship as turbulent as other. Each sailor as panicky as the other. If there is life, there has to be drama. These are the climax shots of your journey. The most nail biting, on the edge of the seat moments. And hey, there is going to be one of the two things from here on... either you will conquer the storm or your ship will wreck and you will be finding yourself in a beautiful island. An island of new found confidence, self belief, courage and new vigour. There is no sinking here, remember that. None of us are built to sink. Have that belief in your potential and that faith in your destiny.
Lastly learn to forgive yourself. Time is not working against you, it’s working with you. Grab it by the hand and let it help you. In the end we are all going to be heroes of our story. Don’t give up, happy endings are just around the corner.

Haha*burns for me here! 😁🤐
Thank you for supportive words.. And hot blood prince.. I guess everyone has one or other problems before exam.. Just own problems looks big to most of us.. Untill we read or share abt each other problems.. Support groups are absent in India.. Like in usa series or movies.. And their concept of shrink.. Here Pagloh ka doctor - ( mental doctor) term is used..
Anyway trying to accept whatever happened.. And just wishing ke able to sustain myself untill 16th Jan 2021 financially.. And more importantly mentally due to breaking of trust.. Normally singles ke life mei.. Gf or bf breaks.. But seems My case different.. Others might be there also with similar situation of mine in past..
So I will also keep going.. Jada se jada clear nahi hoga.. Koi na.. Coaching class mei padha lenge.. Yah jabh tak woh nahi milega.. Tabh tak joh milega... Kar lenge whether teach personal tuitions to upsc students.. Or school students.. Or even security guard ke job ( as covid time most things went online) .. As will need to return money of friends.. Once tat will be done.. In 1 - 2 month max.. Then will start something with growth prospectus..
But untill 16th Jan.. Will just focus on mains..
Many will wonder y then write sad post.. Just writing it out and sharing here.. Helps..as most of us here with few years upsc experience.. Have lost touch with most of friends.. Ekdum call karke gaatha nahi Gaa sakte unko.. Libraries even if some opened.. Its risky affair to go unless no other option.. So here we share.. Hoping our stories might help each other in knowing ke problems are part of this journey.. Golden past we might hv left by choosing this field.. But past can't be changed.. Future can't be predicted.. Its just present we can make it count
Trying to avoid social media especially telegram which is full of crap nowadays.
2020 is cursed. .one of my friend's sis has been diagnosed with blood cancer.she is just 26. The person who has not swallowed tablets in life now has been undergoing chemotherapy. Life is strange !!
When you go to sleep,you can't just predict whether you will get up as healthy as you were last night.
And ya,most irritating thing nowadays I hear is when people say that there's nothing like corona exist, it's just another flu !
It's true that we don't understand the sufferings until we go through the same pain !
