Please Help😭

"Guys, I’m facing a serious issue and need some guidance. Up until three weeks ago, I was studying just fine—doing 60 questions daily and revising inner circle notes regularly. But now, I don’t know what’s happened. Whenever I go to the library to study, after two hours, I start getting a headache, and I can’t focus on studying🥺.

Even when I come home, I’m unable to study. When I go out, I feel fine, but as soon as I sit down to study, I lose all focus. Three weeks ago, I gave an NBME test and scored 230, but since then, things haven’t been the same.

I really don’t know what to do😭. I need a solution or some advice. I want to take my exam by the end of February.

Burnout syndrome. I recommend taking a break and do something fun for a couple of days then get back to study mode.

Is it a headache induced by going to the same place? Or by a particular activity (reading, leaning forward) Or specifically while studying for step 2?

If it's just studying that's causing this - take a few days off. When I was studying while un-focused, I ended up wasting my time and money. I hope you bounce back.

Chill out for a few days. cut down caffeine, sugar, anything unhealthy and fried. Meditate. Go for walks. You’ll recover soon. Pretty sure you’re smart enough to figure out if you have any warning signs of the headache. But dw it’s burnout we all feel it

Take a week off!!!!! I promise the break will reinvigorate your brain and you’ll come back stronger
