The stress

Mental health has been a very important topic of discussion over the past few years. It is very important to consider physical, psychological, and social wellbeing by every individual.

According to the WHO stress is defined as any type of change that causes physical, emotional, or psychological strain. But how many of us really end up understanding this meaning? Not a great number.

                                              

In a student's life stress is a part of our daily routine, we can for once stay  without laughing or eating but can not spend a single day without stressing about something or the other. 

As a  NEET aspirant my tension was related to my subjects and on how to complete the major stuff, it used to always be like I want to complete chemistry, but I can score more in zoology so need to focus on that, physics was always a weak spot and needed constant attention. 

Having all this in mind I started my preparation, but then something unexpected happened, it was the PANDEMIC.

The pandemic made me lazy, and a little careless about the things I had to give the most of my attention, everything was so uncertain that I lost my focus, forgot wat my priorities were, decided to sit and dream about joining one of the best colleges in the country, wearing the Apron with pride, and holding my first ever stethoscope. These dreams occupied most of my time. I sat in front of the books to study but ended up dreaming more than studying efficiently.

I had this realization when the big day came close, and thus I ended up with sleepless nights, terrifying dreams, anxiety attacks became more often. But I didn't quit.

On the big day, I was terrified, stressed out, kept asking myself was I ready to attend the exam, my whole future depended on that single day. I entered the exam hall stressed and sick, both of which ruined my paper.

It was not what I expected from myself, but as its said whatever happens happens for the best.

I can happily say that I fought through my journey, and succeeded the second time.

People think being a student is an easy thing, all you have to do it study and you have no other thing to worry about, but trust me the mental situation of a student is extremely messed up.

Few things can not be learnt easily, only struggle and failures teach them to us, and those lessons are the most valuable lessons that anyone can learn.

In a NEET aspirant's life stress, tension, failure, self doubt, pressure, and anxiety are very common, but these are what makes us stronger.

Here I am today, satisfied with myself, my performance, and the lessons I learnt.

Always remember to chase your dreams at any cost, and not quit in between.
