I am a first year resident and I genuinely feel like I have reached my breaking point.
This is not only about residency. I think years of stress, emotional exhaustion, bullying during MBBS, constant pressure, fear of judgment, and suppressing my real feelings have finally caught up with me.
I somehow survived MBBS thinking things would improve later, but residency has made everything feel much heavier. The environment feels emotionally suffocating to me. I constantly feel surrounded by stress, frustration, politics, emotional disconnect,Maybe others adapt to it, but I feel like I am mentally collapsing inside it.
Over the last few weeks, I started developing severe anxiety symptoms panic attacks racing heart fearfulness and mostly suffocated ,with my department people.
Recently I finally consulted a psychiatrist because I genuinely don’t feel mentally stable enough to continue functioning normally right now.
The truth is i don’t think i belong in this field anymore. Deep inside, i feel drawn towards more authentic,slower and peace oriented life instead of this constant pressure filled environment,unnecessary competition and selfishness.
At the same time, I feel terrified of quitting due to financial consequences.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder,
Is this really the life we are meant to live?
Constant stress, emotional suppression, anxiety, exhaustion, fear, and pretending everything is okay while slowly breaking inside?

People keep telling me,take meds and continue residency, this phase will pass.

And one of my biggest fears is this what if I keep taking medications, keep suppressing myself, keep adjusting and eventually become like the very people I am afraid of becoming emotionally numb, cold, selfish, disconnected, and functioning like a zombie just to survive the system!!!

I wanted to ask honestly has anyone else here felt this level of disconnect from this field ? Did things improve later or did leaving feel like the right decision?

I want to know how is the experience of people who do PG residency in other states ? Apart from difference in culture and language is there anything else that makes you feel outsider or left out ?
I know people should do there PG from a place where they want to settle probably and it gets lonely in residency if you’re away from home but in particular if I want to that particular state should I plan to do PG there ?

People from UP - Bihar do they feel left out if they do residency from MP , Rajasthan, CG , Gujarat, Uttarakhand??

How is AIQ system for people in PG ?
Just want to know from people who have experienced this

Wow 1.3k views and no one was kind enough and just now someone posted a shitty relationship advice bullshit people became lovegurus or what!!.

This shows what have we become as human

Time is so less and limited , seeing the competition getting disheartened , will I be able yo crack 5k?

As for 15k only took 7months of prep

i saw this comment somewhere.

"Being an Intervebtional Gastro,We do So so much more than colonoscopies. With general training you do Upper GI endoscopes, push enteroscopies, and colonoscopies typically. That said, it’s within the procedures where you find the great variety in GI. You can have a full day of UGI endosxopies where no one is the same. You can perform balloon dilation for strictures, you can RFA Barrett’s away, you can snare a strange-looking gastric polyp, you can band esophageal varices — and that’s only a small selection of what you can do on an upper.

And then if you take the extra year for advanced training, you can add ERCP and EUS to your repertoire! Not to mention the growing number of endoscopic bariatric procedures!

and Cardiology also has numerous procedures and still evolving day by day .

While I’m extremely biased, GI is so freaking cool. It definitely gives me the thrill of using my hands to treat patients while not having the grueling hours of surgery.Less hectic residency and stress and litigations and learning curve and ease of own setup .and comparotively good work life balanace than surgical superspecialities ."

Hey guys,

I participated in NEET PG Counselling 2025 through KEA but I haven’t collected my original documents yet from their office.

Does anyone know what the procedure is for collecting them now? Like do I need to book any appointment or just go directly?

Also, how long does the process usually take — is it done the same day or does it take multiple days?

If anyone has gone through this recently or has any idea, please help me out.

Thanks 🙏

Guyz should i take my first drop? I got 500 marks and my parents are willing for both the options(drop or private)..l'm actually confused as fuck.I still feel that i can get a good gmc next year but i don't wanna get again in this neet stress..pls suggest your opinion

I’m honestly feeling completely lost after NEET 2026 and I really need honest advice from people who’ve actually lived through MBBS/BDS and PG prep.

I scored 503 and the cutoff this year feels insane. My dream for YEARS was always MBBS → govt medical college → NEET PG → Dermatology. I genuinely loved the idea of dermatology, aesthetics, skincare, confidence transformation, all of it. But now that I’m standing here realistically looking at the timeline, stress, competition, drops, toxic PG prep, loss of youth, delayed earnings etc… I feel terrified.

I don’t think I can mentally survive years and years of nonstop entrance exam pressure anymore. The thought of finishing MBBS at 24 and then maybe spending more years fighting for a dermat seat is making me panic. At the same time, I also know I want financial success, a good lifestyle, and I still want to work in an aesthetic/medical field.

Now I’m seriously considering BDS too, especially cosmetic dentistry/aesthetic side, but online everyone either says BDS has no scope or that MBBS ruins your mental health. I genuinely can’t tell anymore what’s reality and what’s fearposting.

People who are in MBBS, preparing for PG, doing BDS/MDS, or who once had the same dream as me — what would you honestly do if you were in my place at 18? Do you regret your path? Was the sacrifice worth it? I just want brutally honest advice because right now I feel like my entire life plan collapsed in one result.

Seeing everything happening with NEET UG is honestly making me anxious now.

A lot of us have spent months locked in our rooms doing nothing except studying for this exam. We’ve missed family functions, ignored our health, stopped talking to people properly… all for this one day.

Most of us are already mentally exhausted. Another delay or cancellation would genuinely break people at this point.

Please just let the exam happen fairly and on time. That’s all we want.
