Caller 1: I am a Class 12 student from Uttarakhand. I am very depressed and anxious regarding the exams. My mother is very authoritative and she wants me to study for 15-16 hours daily. While I am studying, she keeps peeping into my room just to ensure I am studying. I can’t wait to for the Boards to get over as I intend to pursue my higher studies away from home.

Response: One understands it must be very disturbing and stressful for you to cope with such behaviour of your mother. You mentioned you have been a very good student and securing 90% marks despite your circumstances. You also said that your father too wants you to study in an atmosphere, which will be free from your mother’s interference. This is possible only when you secure good marks and you can do that only when you focus on your study. Try to avoid your mother’s interfering attitude. Call your friends or us to share your feelings.

Caller 2: I am in class 10 class and passing through very hard times. My family environment is not conducive for studying. My father is alcoholic. He gets drunk everyday and fights with my mother and brother. I want to study and get good marks.

Caller 3: I am in Class 12. I feel very sleepy and tired all the time. I want to study more but there is no time. My coaching class and assignments for various entrances do not leave me with time to even relax.

Response: You have no time to relax since your mind is always pre-occupied with studies and coaching assignments. That’s the reason you don’t feel fresh. You need to change your routine and reschedule your day with regular breaks in between studies. Consult your coaching in-charge and request him/her to give a break till the Boards, so that you can only focus only on Boards. Everyone needs certain level of stress to perform but the moment the stress level goes beyond the optimum level the performance comes down drastically.
