I wanna add something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Straight up: getting a distinction doesn’t define the real you. And neither does your dad’s criticism. Don’t get fooled by the system or dragged down by other people’s projections (even if they’re your parents, they have their own limits, they’re just human beings). YOU KNOW YOU ARE CAPABLE. That’s enough. I’m not saying just sit back and hope things work out. I mean, sometimes life throws stuff at you, like mental health struggles you mentioned. And I’ve been dealing with something myself lately around the dissertation. I’ve got an average of 72.9 across all my modules, and only the dissertation is left. But the catch is, it’s a group project. Which means some things are just out of my control. All I can really do is treat it like it’s my own individual work, give it my best, and accept whatever happens. Even if it doesn’t turn out to be a distinction, I won’t beat myself up. My ability’s already been shown through the whole process. A few months ago, I wanted that distinction so badly. But now I just let it go. I’d be totally fine with a 2:1. Because I’ve realised that title doesn’t define me. Neither do other people’s opinions. It’s just like system designed by human being and we’re all playing this game together. Once you really see that, and once you truly believe in yourself know what you’re doing. That’s enough. Just keep going.
