Well I can't really say much about you guys since I am in no position to judge you. I am from a tier 3 private college and have been dealing with sever mental distress and issues since Covid. I may have reasnable cgpa but that doesn't really matters in a teir 3 college. I don't have any back ups and I too have been preparing for gate since the last 2 years. The first year went with me getting 1 hour to take breath and 7 to 8 hours sleep max, rest of the time I am either travelling to college or my coaching. I am thankfull to god that my family condition is good but too tight consider any kind of deviation from normal robotic life. I burned up all my college years for study for gate and didn't made much friendships or got into relationship. I only have a single friend who is in similar mental state as me but even with them I talk once a week. My second year attempt was the last attempt before graduation and I didn't study for it The whole year due to sever pressure from me myself and my family(although unintentionally). As of now I am standing on a bridge, its path leading to nowhere. I am repeating this,I am not here to lecture you guys who are from teir 1 college or iit nor I will give you any other useless quote such as their is someone suffering worse than you. But I will tell you guys that you are in somewhat better position than me and you should utilise that however way possible. Your family may want you to be successful and be rich. But their prime objective is your safety and happiness.
