Things r always complicated for me

Im from an immigrant household and the struggle with ppr work and anything online such as government work, opening a bank acc, student loan etc always terrifies me. It always feels like something has to go wrong with every step I make. Nothing ever goes smoothly. An example, all of my friend’s student loan applications got accepted within max 2 weeks but mine still hasn’t even been approved yet. Another example, it took my friend 5 mins to open a student acc w a bank but for me it took 12+ applications being completed ( all got rejected ), 1 getting accepted but w wrong names ( have to redo it ) and open a current acc w that bank then having to transfer it to a student’s account ( still doesn’t work I have to go to them in branch ).
Sometimes It feels like its something wrong w me eg I over worry too much that nothing goes right or cuz I overthink it ?
Any ideas or opinions on this ?

Hi there,

Really sorry to hear about this! I really relate to this struggle as well, it can be a hassle, and really difficult.

Are you enrolled at a university yet or at the stage of getting documentation sorted for university? If you are already enrolled, some universities and their Student Union are quite helpful and may be able to provide you some support and advice when it comes to things like student finance, opening a bank etc.
