Relationships, Breakups and Expectations during UPSC : A psychologists's perspective.

[@suryanshupadhyay7926]

I gave the UPSC interview on 2nd Feb, and this was my 1st attempt. Having gone through extreme mental stress, today when I look back I have only one thing to say: "Sometimes just staying alive is the best thing you can do".

I had a breakup in May 2022, just one month before exam, she broke up without any explanation and said on the phone call that everything is over. The impact was devastating, but I somehow cleared prelims (possibly because I wasn't allowing myself to process the situation due to the proximity of prelims), but once prelims were over, the emotional outpouring began. I was unable to study for the mains for one and a half months and thus lost the game. Out of service in 2022. This year, I plan to give again. I learned a lot. People are cruel, so I advise everyone to avoid relationships. Emotional attachment will undermine your efforts. Only a few people are fortunate enough to have both.

[@tamalisaha.1889]

You are true my brother, not everyone is lucky in everything. But you must have been lucky in many things. I'm sure you can make a huge list of them and that will give you more positivity 😊

[@Ana-vd1rl]

Yes I learnt too late now in all my attempts he kept on coming going saying me to marry without thinking about my mental state. Now I left and when I look back 99 percent time i was lost and sad due to him and now I have only regrets of losing my dream to be an ias and tbh upsc is really tough and uncertain. I think I would had gone and exit earlier.

[@Ana-vd1rl]

Emotional attachment is the main reason I failed.

[@Ana-vd1rl]

I was unlucky or my fate was there to not qualify and become ias so he became as distraction

[@caesar848]

@@Ana-vd1rl It's not all fate Ana, it's our decisiveness. My ex also tried to come back after ditching but i never allowed her. Because I knew, if a man/woman can leave you once abruptly then why she will not again?. You shouldn't have allowed him to come back. You were more emotionally into him that i can understand. But you should have attached yourself more to to CSE. If your attempts are left then forget him and study hard. Best revenge is success.

Whoever is that friend of yours shivin, i would like to tell her this: In my first attempt, i went through a worst breakup, just 2 months before the prelims! And it was so bad i Can't even narrate it here. I would suggest u these things only: - cry out loud!!! Whenever u feel, just cry, trust me this helps. The more u suppress it the.more your feelings will trouble u during studies. - seek help, maybe frnds or family, but do seek help. - put yourself as your priority, i know it sounds tough, but this takes time and trust me when u will find urself in this process, there is no way going back! - be your own frnd, even if u have thousands of frnds! The only best frnd u can have is u! - and time heals everything!!! Sounds like a movie dialogue and u might feel this is the end, u can't survive this process, but trust the time and the process itself. U will turn out to be a beautiful person inside out - follow hobbies, go out on dates with urself ( except the places which reminds u of him!) Hope this helps 🙃

Hey much love and thanks for typing it down … I broke up with my bf last month because it was so tough .. he never used to be there when I needed him … I was so frustrated bcoz of studies and then his behaviour..but now also I feel alone … it’s very depressing… I almost cry every day it’s getting so tough.. am appearing for 23 .. I don’t know how it’s going to happen

[@priyathammanoharkoka4300]

Same with me , my gf with whom i was for 4 years and given so much of my time , trust & everything, broke up with me suddenly Few things that helped me are : - Telling myself time heals, the issue will seem a small thing may be after 10 years but you will regret that you could have given the exam better if u lose too much time over this - Change my location enrolled in a library so that i see other people studying and feel socialised - Studying my favourite subject(s) that got me into/ excited for upsc prep in the first place , it is easier to do - Get 20 min of exercise, the body is easier to control than the mind is , the after effect of workout does make you feel better i remember crying and sprinting( it is not hard , if you spend 3 hrs on your bed cryin , i am pretty sure u can jog for a while) - Attempt prelims tests , if you have prepared well . While studying and concentrating might become difficult, answering a modern history fact that rouses your curiosity is easier - Talk to those people who were always there for you, you might have ignored them during relationship (eg: parents ,friends etc) - Please please go out,take time out locking yourself is not the option - Know about varied backgrounds of other upsc aspirants , i have met unfortunate upsc aspirants who suffered more than me (eg: losing parents , too many attempts , an even serious relationship being broken) . I saw that i am much previliged than them and if they got through that i can get through my prob also Last but not least , remember that the job you are preparing for is much challenging and has various opportunities , you are your first priority not ur bf/gf. Cry for a while and stand up again , we ought to serve the nation soon!! These are my personal strategies, sorry if they are silly i hope one or two in those might have helped others

[@kajalthakur322]

@@harshitasinghbhati2176 it does feel alone. Bcoz emotional dependency is at its play here. It will take time, i won't say it will happen in few months, it's a process and a painful one. But the more u accept it and sink it, the more u will get better with time. Even after having frnds, we feel alone, I've been there (though I didn't had any frnd that time!). But right now, I'm at such peaceful place that all that past drama looks too tiny now. Take your time, don't force urself and don't be harsh on urself. After three years i still feel low somedays, but it's okay, that's the human behaviour.

I got into relationship which was arranged marriage after prelims and prior to that i always refrained from getting into something like that so it was my first relationship but just before mains she left me citing trust issues. I focused on that relationship and on her also but she was never felt the way i did. This cost me mains and now i am not even waiting for the results. It was my first mains and now i feel like suicidal. Never imagined that something like this could happens with me. Anyways i know nobody will read this, this is just to remind myself that my life is more important than anything else.😢

[@sreejayaarajguru6276]

He broke up with me just a few days ago because the relationship was hampering him "mentally, physicallyand academically" but all I did was support him no matter what during his prep. He couldn't clear prelims and maybe putting the blame on me. I never asked him to meet me continuously. During the whole relationship, we met only 12 times. The things doesn't end here. We kind off were more than what it is called a relationship. He disrespected the value of vermilion and seven vows. I feel shattered and disrespected. How could he just leave me like that? Couldn't he feel as to what a girl can go through? What will the society tell me now?

[@ankitkapur1936]

stay strong

[@Vaishnavi_agarwalll]

This session was truly valuable 🥺☺️. Sometimes , we upsc aspirants don't even know what we are going through & how to reciprocate. The social circle cutoff & roller coaster rides of relationships. Often we are guilty of coming into relationships & think of ending / taking a break when second person don't understand. This session is for the rescue . Retrospection & communication - were the two lesson to take back home.

[@abhishekpratapnigam]

Had a breakup a few days ago. Its earth shattering for me. I have my 1st attempt in May this year. I also have a background in physical anxiety and my relationship helped me make sense of a lot of things (since it is one of the most meaningful things to do). Now that it's gone, it is very difficult to function. Both mornings and evenings and everything in between is spent thinking about what happened over the past year. I was having a very bad afternoon right now on the way back from my coaching since I saw her passing by with her friend. I came back frustrated and resentful and I don't know how but this video got suggested to me! Thanks Shivin and Mansi for this video. It was like a mini councelling session. And good to know there are so many like me. Every topic discussed in this video has phased through my mindspace over the past few days.I must say everything seems gloomy as of now but I hope to be on the better side of things soon and excell in my exams.

Thank you for this channel. Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel seems to move further away and you feel you can never catch up. Then comes this channel and this guy's efforts. Now I understand what the whole hype is about. His efforts at reorienting us in our journey reminds me of the 2012-13 time when smartphones and internet did not weigh us down and we were happy doing our thing in own unique ways and were rewarded for the same. Nowadays we are chasing too much perfection and burning ourselves out. So, thank you sir. Love and best wishes from a little sister. ❤️

[@tamalisaha.1889]

Thank you for this video🙏 keep up the good work. Sometimes changing place, city/town, state also help. When one relationship changes which is so intimate and other things like your surrounding remains same, it gets v difficult to overcome. To concentrate on study , change your study place , set up permanently.

I reached out to her showed her all the proofs. And the guy too confessed that he did cheat but I'm shocked to know that the girl accepted him again. And they are together now..
