someone please tell me it's okay. i Im 21, i graduated University a year ago with a 2:2 in architecture from UOM because of a mental health break in my final year, I hate my current job and the pay is brutally bad so is the unpaid overtime. I can't go back to my country because it's currently in turmoil and I'm getting kicked out of the UK in a year because that's when my graduate visa ends. I can't apply for a worker visa because my pay isn't enough. I can't apply for a masters because people from my country are now barred from getting a student visa in the Uk. i don't know what to do. Im so lost. I cannot go back to my country. I did 10 IGCSEs got 8 A*s, 2Bs, 4 A*s in a levels. i feel like i've wasted my life and my potential, I don't know what to do.

Hi, I (21F) was an incredibly high achieving student, I did a lot of leadership positions, did 10 IGCSEs got 8A*s and 2Bs, Did 4 a levels Maths, Further Maths, Art and Physics, Got A* in all but due to some severe mental health issues in my final year, I graduated my BA with a 2:2 in Architecture from UOM... Will I still be able to get into top schools for masters? My mother says I've ruined my life and that's brought on alot of ... thoughts..
