Thank you for offering to listen. My academic life is a mess. I’m an high achiever so it’s extra hard and it’s not because of bad grades or anything. I was a medical student in my home country, in year 2 I failed a promotional exam and was asked to repeat the year. This happened in February 2021. It was extremely devastating because I tried my best even when my mental health was declining, I even trusted in God so much to pass, yet I still failed. So trauma was building up. However while, prepping for the exam, I reevaluated my career path and honestly didn’t want to do medicine at the time, I wanted a fresh start elsewhere. An opportunity came to school abroad, and I jumped on it. I got accepted and I chose psychology(I love it). But I was schooling remotely. I started in July 2021 and have since done school online. I’ve completed all the available online courses and need to travel abroad to continue There lies the problem. I was denied visa on September 2nd, a day to my birthday. Before I applied for my visa, it was a hassle because I needed to show proof of adequate funds . My cousin defrauded my family of millions that plunged us into debts. But we eventually were able to apply and I was still denied. Now my mum wants me to consider a whole new country(because the visa requirements are less tedious), where I’d have to start admission process all over again. I can reapply for the first country with no actual guarantee of visa but we wanted a plan B. My problem is both processes are mentally exhausting. I’m so tired. I’ve not rested for 2 whole years. It’s been from one mental strain to another. I don’t have the strength and will to go on. So the mess is Option A- the chances of getting a visa in the whole new country is high but the admission process is mentally exhausting, getting the requirements and all . And my tuition of over 11k cad dollars would be a waste. Plus having to jump from one school to another without getting a degree while my mates have graduated is adding to the misery. Option B- the chances of getting a visa upon reapplication is mid, not guaranteed. The processing time as well can be for months, plus If I’m denied again, it’ll get pretty ugly. So yeah a total mess, Stuck in a mess.

tw . . . . . . I don't want to trigger anyone, so please be warned before reading. I'm feeling pretty hopeless. I don't know if I deserve... anything. I've had two therapists now tell me I'm normal and I don't need to worry so much, but I find it hard to believe them. Just when I think I'm doing okay, thoughts flood back in. I feel like the world is better off without me in it and that others would agree if they weren't a paid therapist there to give me reassurance. I'm tempted to break up with my boyfriend because he doesn't deserve this. I want to pretend I'm okay for the sake of my parents. But if they passed away, I'm not sure I'd have much strength to live for myself. This feeling is pretty bad right now. Overwhelming. I have absolutely no love for myself. I can't even distract myself by watching TV or shows I love, because all I can think is, "Look at those people. They deserve to live and be happy, and I'm not one of them." Gah, this is bad. I'm an adult, and I feel like such a baby for feeling this way. How dramatic am I? How can other people have similar (if not worse) thoughts than me, and then still be ok with themselves? I miss the person I used to be. I miss feeling okay. I feel ok momentarily, but then it all comes crashing down. I can't stand it. All I want is for things to go back to how they used to be.

I feel like a horrible person who doesn’t deserve to live. So even when I start feeling better I feel like I don’t deserve that. I just feel like a bad person who doesn’t care about anyone

I know this isn’t healthy but I’m in a really bad place. If I actually did something so disgusting I don’t deserve to live. I know me dying would just cause more pain but I feel it’s what I deserve. I confessed on here, which I know I shouldn’t have, but being ignored is making me worry that my actions were actually unacceptable
