37 days left for mains. What to do? Anxiety not letting me study.

edited November 2014 in Social, Tips & Support
Guys

Just 40 days left and not even 1/3rd of syllabus is completed...what should i do now...moreover with each passing day anxiety not letting me to study as much...wasted much time after prelims though i was sure to get through....and now when i look at the amount that i have to study i feel disheartened....feels like people must have studied rigorously after pre and i wasted my time thinking negatively and by anxiety...there was enough time after pre but i thot that time that time is very less....and right from then anxiety crept in...n now time is really very very less...i am from a rural background...dont have much financial security so if i do not succeed in this attempt...god knows only what will happen...everyone in my family expects me to become IAS this time...burden of expectations too high ...i think what if i dont?

Can i still make it...if i study very hard from now...I AM LIVING in FEAR..god save me

    :( Equally frustrated with the syllabus but have to set it aside and get on with it. Whatever you do helps.

    Its like this... my date of birth is 3rd march 1983...so if i do not make it this time i wont be able to give next attempt since cutoff date is 1st august...also i did not appear in 2011 exam since i was not preparing that time therefore new attempt that will be given to 2011 appeared people is not available for me...i appeared in 2012 and wrote mains but could not qualify....2013 me overage ho gya...!! understood?

  • @badman : it may look weird and impossible but you still have some 40-41days left. Try to give 14 hours a day and the game can be still yours.

    that is exactly what i want to know....if i study like 16 hours from now ...can i still make it...i think ki everyone must be studying that much so even if i study that much how much advantage can i gain since i hv nt studied much in last 2-3 months....

    Honestly speaking i am HUGELY burdened by the expectations people around me have...also i do not have any alternative other than PCS now...i a simple M.Sc degree holder...i do not know what i will do next...i had pinned my hopes on this
