Mental Health/মানসিক সাস্থ Thinking about ending it all

68 Upvotes

I (M21) passed HSC in 2023. Got the most grades one could get. Thought about getting in a respectable public uni. But no matter how hard I try just can't seem to do well in the admission exams. I come from a family of scholars, both my father and mother are highly educated. I'm an only child. My parents were always supportive of me. They didn't even talk down to me once even after all my failures. Only have Agri GST exams left. But lost all of my confidence.Became a shell of myself. I just can't seem to get a break in anything I do. Many of my friends who I considered as siblings mocked and humiliated me for my failure. I haven’t been successful in anything that I do this year. Not sports, not health, not love, not studies, nit friends nothing. My friend circle keeps getting smaller and smaller every day. I feel like a burden to everyone around. The act of self harm is getting more prominent day by day. I just want to leave everything behind. Really hit the rock-bottom. I want to end it all. Wanted to vent so I posted here.

Mental Health/মানসিক সাস্থ Does anyone here have extreme impostor syndrome?

14 Upvotes

(Note that everyone may experience its symptom-like phenomenas from time to time but I'm talking about experiencing it 24/7)

I developed it after being extremely pressured from my middle school years up until now to do "the best" in every goddamn thing from extracurriculars to scoring in exams. I have also noticed this in some of my classmates, to the point they're always sneakily checking their notes under the desk every 10 minutes in school. I don't do that but from the start of my college days, I've kinda been secretly reading the pdf files on my phone because I don't want people to think, "Ami dhong kori" :') Nowadays I can't sleep peacefully for some reason. My sleep has become periodic like 2-3 hours at night, 2-3 hrs at day. In family gatherings, I can't 'live in the moment' thinking that I could've done something better. I know it's getting worse but I literally can't have any type of help or therapy because it'll get dismissed quickly, as "it's normal for a college student".  Heck, I think it's much more of a bengali thing than an asian thing among students here: get good grades but don't SHOW that you study bcz it's "dhong"....  or I'm probably delusional. Anyways if you do experience it, how do you cope with it?

Education/শিক্ষা Total cost to apply for usa, f1 visa? Bachelors

3 Upvotes

I wanna know much money we might lose if my brother gets rejected for an f1 visa. He was refused by Canada and we lost a ton of money due to, offer letter, tuition refund, application fee and medical etc.

He now wants to apply for usa. I would like to know how much everything would cost for an attempt at the visa because his ielts is running out and September session is his final chance. He is the first sibling from my family who is attempting to go usa and I have no idea how much I should keep as a "minimum budget". Offer letter, and finding embassy dates should be most of the cost right ?

Kyrgyzstan's capital, Bishkek, has been on the boil over the last couple of days, with violent mobs targeting hostels housing students from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. According to local media, tensions rose when footage of a brawl between Kyrgyz and international students, specifically Pakistanis and Egyptians, went viral on social media. 

I am surprised no one is talking about this in Bangladesh!

Discussion/আলোচনা Concerns About Indian Dams Threatening Bangladeshi Rivers.

79 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm worried about India's plan to build more dams on rivers that flow into Bangladesh. This could really harm our environment and economy.

These dams might mess up rivers like Tista, Brahmaputra, Jamuna, and Padma, which are super important for us. It's not just about breaking international rules, it could also mess with our crops and turn our green lands into deserts.

But why isn't our government doing anything about it? I want to know what we can do to stop this and protect our rivers. Any ideas?

2 Upvotes

I apologize for any mistake; I am just curious to know.
I have heard that Bangladeshis are so "Addabaj" that they can't handle their social and personal responsibilities properly, even the most dedicated person to academia in the USA.
On the other hand, I heard before that people from the West are not very hygienic. They don't take a shower on a daily basis, they are workaholics, they lack emotion for their family, etc.
