seriously, this is rough... toxic family environments really can mess with your mental state and make it tough to focus on studying 😟 i get it, trying to concentrate with all that negativity around can feel impossible sometimes... it’s like your mind just shuts down, right?? but listen, you gotta figure out some coping methods or coping strategies or whatever they call it in psychology to get past this.. academic performance depends on your ability to adapt and self-regulate even in less-than-perfect conditions... yeah it’s super hard, but figuring it out is critical if you’re worried about your future being affected... maybe set up a study corner or use noise-canceling headphones... you've got to protect your cognitive resources and concentrate on your educational goals, even if everything around you is chaotic... for your future’s sake, try to find a workaround even when it feels like everything's against you... 🤷♂️

That's the main issue. I have been trying to find some kind of coping methods but have been unsuccessful in doing so. In class 10 when I had boards examination ( which is an important examination in India) , I tried studying at and night sleeping at day time ( like studying from 1 am to 11 am and then sleeping and the waking up at 7pm Or 8pm then again studying)
U thought this would benifit me. But instead in the exam ( which is conducted from 10 30 am to 1 30 pm I started feeling sleepy due to this and after 12 30 pm my hands became numb and brain stopped working. Somehow I finished the exam. Same thing happened for other subjects too. ) I somehow managed to score 92 % but I feel like if I didn't have to adjust for my surrounding I could have scored more than 95% . Now I am in class 12 . In 2025 I am going to give one of the most important entrance examination in India that is jee main and advanced. Same things are happening like what happened 1 year ago in my class 10 . This examination is very important for my future as it decides what college I will go to. For this toxicity I am not being able to give my best. How do I find a coping mechanism. It's not like I can stay away from my family members, I don't have a choice. So what do I do. I feel helpless.

19d agoand no way to use stuff like noise-canceling headphones or earplugs to be in a quiet environment when you need to work?
Nah
Did u face similar situation?
In Indian household there is no such thing as privacy. Even if I block my ears some one will come into my room(not necessarily family member, it can literally be anyone)and start talking loudly or doing random stuff

19d agono, only a noisy sister when I was younger but it was quiet :)
oh, I see :-/ yep, studying in these conditions is definitively hard... no places like public library to study in your area?
Not exactly a library, but there is place near my school where all the teachers sit for clearing student's doubts after class , I am thinking I should go there tomorrow and try to sit and study there ( although it will be kinda awkward sitting in front of all the teachers and studying cause nobody does that). I shall check tomorrow whether that place is open or not because now holidays are going on in school. Anyways thank you, because I was so frustrated that I was unable to think about any solutions.
