I hate that I am not doing well in physics... I can't stop having suicidal thoughts and I hate it... All I want is to do well in physics and I can't for some reason.

I refus to ****ing believe "you're just not cut out for it"... No... Thats not the case... No one is ever just not cut out for it. I scored a 740 on the GRE math... I know I'm capable. There is nothing special about anyone else that I am not capable of...

Why do so many ****in people quit their degree programs because they are told they aren't cut out for it? Why do we support this. There is nothing wrong with these ****in kids and yet so many people say... "oh maybe its not for you"... **** off... I hate that mindset...

If you can't tell I can't I'm struggling with this horribly.
