This is a topic that may not be discussed as often but quite possibly the biggest hindrance to my preparation has been mental health. The preparation has pushed a few of my other friends down the vortex as well. Panic attacks are common and life doesn't stop for you. I am writing to give myself a push and to share what has helped.
- Setting expectations with friends and family:
I wasn't able to spend too much time socializing after a full-time job and put in the hours for GMAT. There was a lot of friction because of the time I had to give to the preparation. In hindsight, setting expectations early would have helped. Clearly communicating that you won't be available for the usual work and even asking them for support in different things would be a great way to avoid stress later.
- Finding someone to push you:
Many months passed trying different ways to get into a rhythm of preparation. My preparation lacked consistency. Mental health was an issue too. Fortunately, a colleague is preparing for the same. Two people in the same journey pushing each other was a great way to kick it up a notch.
- Seeking professional help:
This is a no brainer. Where available and possible, a professional can help in managing the stresses that come with the preparation.
- Setting small goals:
Easily achievable goals reduce the pressure and anxiety. Small wins help me gather momentum.
These are some things which have helped me. I have tried meditation too. It really helps especially when I am finding it difficult to sleep. What have you tried that has helped?

HelloNewman
The greater purpose is a good point. I am looking at the trees and not the forest now.
I am also incredibly thankful to this community built by bb. Each time I get anxious i turn to GMAT Club to find ideas to do better and resources to actually ease the preparation. For example, i have scored 710 in the GMAT prep mock exam recently. I would like a 750. I have used the GMAT Club diagnostic test to identify weak areas and i am going after those now.
GMATClub gives me a way to improve everytime i hit a wall and hence feel confident than anxious after each study session. Thank you!
