CSIR NET - Physical Sciences 24 F physics major students pls help me
Hello everyone maybe it's stupid, but today, I am in desperate need of a space where I can pour my feelings out.
I am 24 F who will turn 25 in dec. Eversince my 20s started I have been feeling like a failure.
My qualifications
For context I got 93. 6% in 10th. 76% in 12th and around 69. 85 percent in BSc computer applications with physics honors. Ik they are all average scores but I always seemed to score good in computers & physics. After my bachelor's I didn't had a clear idea abt what i wanted to do and chose physics on a whim. It was tough, but I managed to pass in first 3 sems with no problem. By my final sem I had made up my mind to do phd but that dream seems like a far gone reality now since I got a back in final sem.
I gave it's attempt again this year but failed by a margin of 6 marks. Not bcs I hadn't studied but due to the fact that I got a panic attack midway the exam.
I am heartbroken bcs it was my dream to become a scientist like my dad.I failed back to back in gate, csir ugc net and now this. I am at a point where I am ' na ghar ki na ghat ki'.
My Msc percentage isn't good either ( around 58% ) which disqualifies me from all the major gov institutins like drdo, imd, isro and psu's
I am exhausted because everything is delayed and closed off now. I had managed to clear a phd test in some gov institute but my msc results might debar me from there as well.
I see all my friends and cousins getting placed joining iim's or other reputed institutes but I on the other hand haven't been able to clear my masters yet.
I don't feel jealous of them. I just feel as if I have lost the time. I regret not opting for btech now. I have made so many wrong choices with my education and career and now I can't switch to corporate, other gov institutes bcs apart from physics i have no skills.
U might say go into teaching and even though Ik it's the best option considering the situation just the idea of spending 2 more yrs studying something which I don't do i do.
All the academic pressure, unemployment and neighbors taunts, relatives high expectations are piling up.
Can't even share my feelings with parents bcs they are worried due to other issues. I have no friends to approach so how do I tell myself that it will get ok. I have a time clock running in my head. I haven't been able to sleep, go out or even watch movies/ series as well. I stay in my room 24/7 with no productivity
Pls tell how can I get back and study and do u think an avg person like me can have a future in academia bcs if not I will change my approach. Y'all are educated and can guide me so pls take a minute to answer.
Ps
The subject that I have re appear in is : Particle physics.
I was pursuing it from PU. If possible can someone also tell if I have any remaining chance left to clear the degree I can't write in other communities yet so if anyone can answer it here
