I felt my soul getting crushed when I got told the news by my supervisor. Apparently he doesn't see any potential in my research contributing to their group anymore. I guess its partly my fault. I have the terrible trio: OCD, ADHD and depression all in one. But didn't reveal that to anyone ever other than family. So I often had to make excuses to take the day off otherwise I would have literally had a mental breakdown in public. Thought I had it under control but I clearly didn't. I have till September this year to submit my a revised thesis to be eligible for a Masters.
Even though thats about 4 months away, I am completely demoralised. My plan was to work in Academia, but now I don't know what jobs to apply for once I finish. I have no relevant internship experience other than soft skills. Even if I do get an interview out of sheer luck I do not know how to tell that I was demoted to a Masters. Also I don't know whether my supervisor will even write me a letter of recommendation... Please help.
