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.

I'm currently at one of the lowest points with my OCD despite me working so hard on it and everything that I know it stems from because a lot of my OCD comes from trauma from sexual abuse as a kid and as I got older and a lot of other stuff which is also why I have Complex PTSD. I was doing so well, I started medication, and I was in this dual housing program for treatment and everything was going okay. That was until I ended up getting SA’D by a man there and none of the staff cared or did anything despite me doing everything possible and gathering all of this evidence and all the people there either didn't care or bullied me relentlessly as they laughed with my abuser. It was so painful and I felt so alone. I think what triggered my spiral was that it was very similar to the reactions of my past assaults and thus my OCD came spiralling alongside my C-PTSD symptoms and I feel like it is worse then before. I left that place but its still absolutely terrible and I feel so hopeless and hurt. Not only did this man hurt me like I have been in the past he brought back the very thing that caused me so many years of suffering. It makes me sick. I don't want to think these thoughts or feel these horrible urges and sensations. I feel so disgusting and broken.

I feel like I’ve lost who I am , even since my depression and ocd started. I don’t even know what I like anymore:(( I doubt everything I think and it’s so draining because I just want to feel like my old self again😭 I feel like I have no motivation to get better which is bothering me so much because I want too but something is holding me back from doing what I need to do :/ with all my thoughts and doubts , I feel like I can’t trust myself . I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels this much pain
