They regret that they have son like me. I do not have any support. I'm feeling I should not live anymore. Pls help me.

Hello,

There is nothing to worry about. You have exam tommorow so you should study and prepare well so that you give your best in the exam. That is your original potential. You are nervous so you are forgetting but its fine. Do things repeatedly you won't forget. You have less time now so just try to cover important topics or those parts you feel easy to study and remember. It is okay if you score less but try to do atleast you score high than the passing marks.

It's fine for now. Next time just try to study daily and don't try remember, try to understand that this process is done in this way. Just like same how we do daily and how we learn. we also didn't knew how to walk when we were born but we fell down many time to learn walking properly. Those who fear to fall they don't learn how to walk easily and they need support.

No need of support if you have confidence in yourself. There are many big things left to do so don't think negative and learn everything as how we learn to walk.

It's okay to fall down. You are in the same stage of falling down and soon you will learn how to do things perfectly. Don't worry and just do your studies. Everything will be okay.

About the regret part, don't think about those. Just think that study is your life and studying is your duty. Books are your friends and your companinon. Leave the whole world and think about yourself. It's okay to be selfish sometime when other person forgets to care. and It's completely fine.

Hope it helps!

Dear Shreyas, you are not alone in this. And unfortunately suicide is not an answer. The stress of education and examinations actually take a toll on our wellbeing leading to forgetting what we have studied and thereby leading to depression. And mental health in India is yet to gain its importance and awareness.

And regarding the major issue here, accepting that you are depressed and you are feeling suicidal takes guts and you are one amongst those few who open up on your limitations. You admitted that you are forgetting what you studied, you are admitting that you are depressed. It takes a brave one to admit that. And now for a brave one, suicide or untimely death can only hamper the beautiful future that is ahead. Today you might feel that this is an issue. Tomorrow when you go ahead in life, there might be farther more complications and you will laugh one day thinking that you considered suicide an option when you were quite young and what you are facing then is huge when compared to this. What you do today will have an impact on tomorrow. If you want at your problems tomorrow, living it and beating the issue at hand is the only way out. Admitting that there is an issue is the first step and facing it no  matter what  is the 2nd step. How to face it becomes the 3rd step and laughing at your problems and assuring yourself that you wouldnt repeat them if it is in your hand is the last step.

While that is a long way to go, what we can do for you today is to help you with your exam for tomorrow. We do not know what the exam is and if it is a class level exam or an entrance examination. Relax and when you go through your syllabus today, imagine the answers in your head and try drawing diagrams to be relevant to your answer. And when you have to write the same in the exam hall tomorrow, just imagine the diagram and then write down the answer. You can always watch relevant subject videos to make your learning easy and enjoyable. Have a study group with your friends and study along with them if you can. And no matter what the result might be in tomorrow's exam, I wholeheartedly would like to hear from you just to know that you survived an exam scare. We can chart out a time table for you based on your strengths and weaknesses. Good luck!
