Exam Stress
Im medical student. Currently in 3rd year. I'm in hostel. I had never been in hostel before joining mbbs.i had roommate issues in 1st year so underwent depression during final exams. But i got distinction in 1st year. Now I changed room nd all fine with my exroomate. But I get stressed during exam a lot. My mind gets easily distracted at that time(like, I rewind my conversation with people and think whether I said the right thing or not). Help me. I want to excel in my profession. I also come under General merit which takes hard work to get PG seat..I just want some guidelines to manage stress and on how to deal with people..

Hi Dear
It is advised that you take frequent breaks within your study schedule specially at the time of exams. You know you have come here with a lot of hard work and with stress you will start forgetting what you have learnt. So plan your schedule, try and finish your syllabus few days before so that you have good time to revise.
Go for morning walks or some exercise and practice deep breathing exercise with it( for better understanding and demonstration visit a psychologist).
Write down your thoughts when you are stressed so that you release it somewhere
Keep talking to your loved ones so that they are aware of your health.
All the best!

I think studying to come first is causing you the stress.
You are no more a normal school student dear. You are a professional, who is shortly going to be responsible for others life.
Hence, study towards the purpose of servicing for people, rather than proving to the people.
I understand the difficulty in getting the MD seat. And, yet, your Intention of serving the people will get you there.
