My phone was reset, and since then I’ve been locked out of both my Instagram and WhatsApp accounts.

My Instagram account is linked to an email that I can no longer access. That email itself has 2FA enabled, and I don’t remember its password. During email recovery, one verification code comes to my phone number, but the second code is sent to the same email account that I’m not logged into. I also don’t have a passkey, so I’m stuck at that step.

Because I can’t recover this email, I’m also unable to complete my Instagram recovery. Instagram’s verification code is also not arriving on this particular phone number, even though other codes work on my other number.

The same inaccessible email is linked to my WhatsApp as the recovery email. I forgot my WhatsApp two-step verification PIN, so WhatsApp is also locked and the recovery email is inaccessible.

I still have my phone number and these are my accounts. Is there any legitimate recovery method, workaround, or official form that could help me regain access to the email first, and then Instagram and WhatsApp? Any advice would really help.

I'm 26 years old and honestly feel stuck in life.

After 12th, my dream was MBBS. I requested my parents many times to let me pursue it, even abroad if needed. I was made to believe finances were the issue, so I compromised and joined BHMS.

What hurts is that a couple of years later my younger brother was given the opportunity to pursue MBBS abroad. That's when I started feeling that the issue was never really money. I tried explaining, arguing, crying, and convincing them, but nothing changed.

I completed BHMS hoping things would improve.

They didn't.

After graduation, I spent nearly a year searching for jobs. Most hospitals either wanted experience, references, or were offering very poor salaries. Then I opened my own clinic.

It failed within 6 months.

I ended up with debt, a career gap, and shattered confidence.

During that time, my family and relatives emotionally pressured me into joining my father's business. I was constantly told that my father was getting older and needed help. I never wanted to join the business, but eventually I gave in because I was tired of being called unemployed and feeling like a burden.

The problem is that after spending 5.5 years becoming a doctor, I now work in a field that has nothing to do with what I studied. People openly mocked me and said things like:

"Doctor banne ke liye itne saal diye the ya ye kaam karne ke liye?"

Honestly, I had no answer.

Today, at 26, I still don't feel financially independent. I haven't been able to buy my own bike, buy the phone I want, or spend money freely without thinking ten times or discussing it at home.

Meanwhile, many of my classmates and batchmates are settled. Some have jobs, some have their own clinics, and some are earning well. Watching them move forward while I remain stuck has been mentally exhausting.

The last four years have been full of arguments at home regarding my career and future. I've been called a loser, a failure, useless, and many other things. Whether intentional or not, hearing such things repeatedly destroys a person's confidence.

What hurts even more is constantly being compared to my younger brother. His achievements are proudly discussed in front of relatives, while I often feel like the example of what went wrong.

Over time, this has created a lot of resentment inside me. We live in the same house, but there are times when I barely speak to my parents for weeks or months.

Now I feel like I belong nowhere.

Not fully in medicine.

Not fully in business.

Not financially independent.

Not emotionally at peace.

Sometimes I genuinely feel like "dhobi ka kutta — na ghar ka na ghat ka."

I'm not looking for sympathy.

I genuinely want honest advice.

If you were in my position — 26 years old, BHMS graduate, failed clinic, debt, career gap, family conflict, low confidence, and feeling left behind in life — what would you do next?

Thank you for reading.
