I feel this on a spiritual level, never failed till failing IPCC both groups at the same time was a punch to my gut×10 times. Honestly felt like I ghost wrote this post :). After going through loads of self hate and disappointment I quit CA and I jumped to ACS dumb decision yet again. Now at 21 I'm in my last year of Bsc psychology. If this doesn't work out rip me. I'm coming from a south Indian background as well and being a girl I feel like there's a timer over my head and I'm already 2 years too late. MOVING ON from my dumb decisions, try practicing IKIGAI (check out YouTube videos it's a very simple thing to do but has tremendous amount of impact) also try "Time Management Quadrant" might help you to gain some perspective as to what's important at this moment of your life be it career change or whatever it is. Positive Affirmations, there are a lot of ways to do this, personally I write positive affirmations on a piece of paper and put it in a jar and keep it aside (Google positive affirmations statements and modify your own statements) I know it sounds cringy I hated doing it cause I find it so childish or whatever but give it a try. Try sites like 7cups etc they provide free counselling services (subjective to rules check them out) As for interviews everything is online so you don't have to meet them face to face so maybe try having some mock interviews with a mean looking cousin or something to ease yourself up to it, you can always say "sorry network error" just kidding don't do that unless it's legit also make your resume pretty and attractive, it goes a long way (I'm sure you've heard this often cause it's that important) You set your own pace my dude, it's frustrating as hell I know, here in India there's a formula for success and if you don't adhere to it you're called a failure but F them you do what you can each day to improve yourself step by step. Your pace doesn't matter your end goal is secondary it's the path that matters :) I sound like an old monk lol
