hey! You have got more than 90 days roughtly. so firstly chill....
Now next try this...
Sit down in a comfortable room with a pen and somepaper.
Now with out letting your pen stop once it starts for 15 mins, i want you to write whats bothering you, adn why you arent able to read, andwhat do you think that needs to be done.
dont worry about punctuation, or sentence structure....just write what comes to your head, if it its like ... "i think its stupid, but, what do i have to loose so i am gonna do this .... "
Next go back and read it... You will seee whats been plaging you.
And you will also have your solutions to it....

Fustrations are common.... its part of life..... without them... we would enjoy victory... =)
If u havent taken a break cut looze for a day and get back to it.. If you have all ready feel like you wasted a lot of time... then belive in your self... and as my friend says...
read usmle as if it were another opportunity to learn medicine the home style way. =?).

Lastly thier is this website that churns out good motivation stuff every day. You should readthem.
its called www.greatday.com.
So relax and go get your 99.
=)
All the best.

consider SSRI-not kidding!within 2 weeks you will feel much better and you wil gain back normal perspective of life,depression is adisease and need to be treated,dont blame yourself or feel ashamed-be storng and dont be afraid to seek professional help.i had similiar problems when i was younger and paroxetine literally saved my life,and balanced me.

Sorry to hear about this. I am kind of a little bit depressed as well, since I only can force myself to study for 1 hour a day and I am delaying my target of test date again and again...

Some pieces of suggestions to you but I know it is harder to do than to speak.

1. I found www.greatday.com is very good!

2. Lower your expectation.
Set it as "Pass it" comfortably, not "Ace it" or "beat it". Let's say 80-85. Which is enough, and much better than quitting it.

3. Pick up your confidence - You can pass it comfortably.
Everybody is saying that "it is doable". So the same to you (and to myself...).

4. Stop worrying and start living/studying.
Read 1.
Talk to friends.
Talk to yourself.

5. Every 10 mins counts.
It is so frustrating to me that how little time I can force myself to study although I have strong motivation. And I kept on forgetting what I have learned. It is like that I am dragging myself in a old broken cargon - internal burden. The way seems so long and every day's study seems so ineffective and so on.

But, let's do believe that - Every 10 mins counts. Every 1 question counts. Every knowledge point counts. Every mechanism counts. Pick up these pearls and connect them to become a beautiful necklace. When we accumulate our knowledge, we are like accumulating our wealth, making money, collecting valuable stuff to make us rich inside out.

When I write down these sentence, I am also trying to fight myself out. To talk is easy, but to do is more difficult. Let's encourage each other and make this painful journey a little bit happier.
