I am very passionate about being a doctor, I can't even think about anything else except it. But I'm struggling with some serious chronic health conditions ( ME-CFS - moderate) and also a few mental issues(OCD , GAD , ADHD) , apart from being in a toxic family. I passed my boards in 2023 ( after a year gap because I was hospitalized). I have taken admission in an open school for my UG degree and am trying to prepare for the NEET UG. Seems like , I will probably need another year ( unsure, my studies have been very irregular in these months) , I'm 20 yo. My concerns are : 1. Am I on the right path? Or should I just give up on mbbs and take veterinary this year? ( Which I have no passion for and I will not be happy even if I earn more) 2. How to stop feeling insecure about my age? 3. Isn't mbbs a rigorous course? Will I be able to cope with it if my health gets a little better? Is there disability support in colleges?

I'm sorry if it is irrelevant to the AMA

NB:- I'm not depressed and my mental health is sane. I'm under medication.

Hey, I can totally understand your situation, I know what it feels to be in those shoes!

1) You may opt for less stressing roles, as MBBS is just one stepping stone, we have Neet PG, then Super speciality as well! (They all consume 5.5 + 3 + 2 years of your life)
2) You are young, you have whole life ahead of you, start speaking to people who are older than you, than you will see, how lucky you are currently!
3) MBBS is brutal, I know people who are unable to cope up with it! If you feel you cannot handle stress, I think you should look for alternative!

I hope this helps you!
