How to manage persistent mental torture from a professor?

Hello,

For the past nine months, I have been suffering from mental trauma, because of a professor. I studied at a good college. During my first semester, I did really badly. But, then I improved a lot. As I failed in the first semester I was told to pass that paper for my promotion to the second year. Many people who had less than me went to the second year, but to me every time it was a cold shoulder from management. When I attempted again, unbelievably the questions were much harder. I did my best, but I failed again. The professor harassed me. I am sure I deserved more. Should I stand up and fight for the injustice done? I cannot bear the entire burden. Please help me to understand the problem.

Can past negative experiences lead to depression?

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old male who obtained a bachelor's degree in software engineering. My issue is that I often experience depression. Even minor failures trigger feelings of depression, and I am overly sensitive to small events. I perceive myself as having fewer mental skills than others. I consistently struggle to learn new skills and comprehend even simple concepts in my life.

Throughout my educational journey, I struggled to keep up in the classroom and had to work very hard to grasp the lecture material after class. One positive aspect is that my language processing skills are good, and I find it easy to learn new languages. However, I find it challenging to perform and learn other tasks. I am unable to learn by imitating others and always find it difficult to learn new games or create toys like paper boats or airplanes. I even struggle to learn how to tie complex knots with ropes.

Please help.

Thank you.

I am gay but want to be straight. Please guide me.

Hi doctor,

I am a 29-year-old male, working in an IT firm. From my childhood, I am very soft and gentle. When I was 12, I fell in love with a girl. But, she changed schools. So, when I was 15, I started having sex with boys. After she left, I felt love towards boys and was sexually attracted to boys. I do not feel anything even if I see a nude girl. I used to masturbate twice a week, by thinking about males. If I see a girl's nude picture I do no not feel anything. I am not a smoker or drinker. So, I think I am gay, but I do not want to be gay. I want a straight man's life. I wanna be a manly man. I should feel sexually attracted to girls. Help me take a good path in life.
