Will seeking mental health services affect my immigration process in being a citizen in a few years?
Hi, I wanted to know whether seeking out mental health services affect my process. I am already a US resident. I became a resident in early 2019. I know it may be a dumb question but I’ve been hesitant seeking professional help for so long and now it’s gotten to the point where I can’t do this anymore. I have been to a counselor and psychologist before but I would stop seeing them because of fear of this being used against me. Especially when I was seeing my psychologist three times a week because of so much unresolved trauma. This was before and after becoming a resident. My family and even a lawyer advised to stop going in fear that I may be denied in the future especially after spending over $7k on my immigration process. But I just can’t do this anymore, it’s gotten to the point where I can’t sleep most nights and I am failing school. It’s affecting me so badly in so many ways. I just don’t want to be here anymore. I hate myself and everything that has happened to me and what I’ve become. Honestly a lot of my dreams and aspirations have been destroyed because of what’s wrong with me and the most frustrating part is that I don’t even know what that is. I just hate myself so much. Can someone please help me? I just don’t know what to do anymore. Please let me know because I can’t do this anymore longer. I am so sorry if this post was uncomfortable or pointless but I just really needed to ask this question.
