Not able to understand what to do, mbbs doctor with bipolar + ocd

Hello, my qualifications is mbbs, i am 2022 passout mbbs graduate, i have had ruminations and social anxiety since childhood. Therefore my mbbs life was a mess, always anxious no friends and depressed, in 2020 psychiatrist prescribed escitalopram but i switched into hypomania, so i tapered and stopped. From 2020-2025 i have various physical symptoms, cognitive deficits like delayed recall, lack of sustained attention. In 2025 pain became centralized. Now i am diagnosed as c/o bipolar iii+ social anxiety+ ocd. And i am on lithium lamotrigine escitalopram and propranolol. But i always feel that i wasted many years, 2022-2024 i worked in different hospitals, last year i couldn't clear neet pg. Neet pg is in August 30, and i am feeling very anxious not even able to sleep. I Have no social life, professionally i am not that good, i feel like dying. Feels bad that even after struggling for so many years there is nothing else in mbbs, and i have to clear this neet pg. Now i am saying improvements in mental health but i feel its too late, many psychiatrists didn't diagnose bipolar and kept increasing ssri, which made it worse, then i met this brilliant NIMHANS professor in December 2025, but i feel its too late, i cant take one more drop.

Can we just stop making flat pitches and let go off this impact player rule, this is just madness, chasing 240, these matches are not entertaining, bowlers have nothing. Why would anyone want to be a bowler. Back in 2013-14, 180-190 thrillers used to be so wonderful. This is the reason why so called 'ipl stars' fail at international stages.
