Unable to get over the failure of mains. Somehow it keeps coming back to me and its hard to concentrate on what to do now. The focus always goes towards the years lost specially when there were better choices left behind. I don't know how to get over this vicious cycle of negativity and unproductivity. The moment I get on with something, the anxiety kicks in again. It feels like I dont have the energy to do anything now.
People who have been through this, can someone suggest on how to move ahead?
I wouldn't say I have been through this. I'm going through the exact same struggle as you. What has helped me a bit in the last week has been to keep pushing myself to work.
Just tell yourself that if you want to clear mains, all you have are 30 extra days. After that, everyone will be doing prelims preparation and we won't be able to derive any benefits from this 'failure'. Everyone will study for mains post prelims, these 30 days are all we've got to distinguish us from the others.
All the best. Hope you find peace and happiness soon!
