Furkan (he/his) went through a very difficult phase with his psychological well being but he found he ways to overcome it and make it a good experience. Hear his story (in English). 

Hello. My name is I'm 22 years old, and I am here in from, uh, last August till next February. So, um, also, I am an international relation graduate person. And basically, that's all information about my basic, uh, life

So as we all know that, you know, COVID-19 even though it it started to affect people in 2019. But it affects all, like, almost all around the world in mid 2020 which affected us badly in a bad way. Because you know, all my education in those in those times I was a student, and all my education went online

And it affected me really badly because I was super depressed. And because of depression and frustration, because we are basically you are frustrated and afraid of dying that risk of dying. It was really affecting you in a bad way

And because of the depression, I had to cut my hair. I don't know why I did that, but I decided to cut my hair because before that, you know, I had a really long hair. It was like I I would, uh I loved it so much, but I cut it

And right now, I'm trying to grow it again. Uh, I hope that I will have the same beautiful hair in the future. I hope we will see

So, uh, how did I deal with deal with that frustration and depression? Actually, there's that thing in. There's a thing of me that, you know, when I'm doing nothing, I became I'm becoming more ang angry about life because basically, I don't I don't like when I don't like my life. I started to maybe more angrier towards everything

Almost so at first I was super depressed and super angry to everything. Almost so because I couldn't do anything physical. I couldn't go out

I couldn't do anything. So I had to deal with that. I had to buy some books, some puzzles to Sol, and what did I do? I spent so much time on for my career focused on my career, which was really good impact on my life during those times I was a student, and I that looking focusing on my career is was a great experience, because it, uh, it had a huge impact on my, uh, education, because I was I was spending so much time on my uh, for studying, uh, for my for my classes

Well, I realised that during the during those times to deal with anger and depression, I started to be a philosopher, I guess because I was thinking so much stuff about I don't know, that life and I started to think the meaning of life and stuff. It was really creepy. Really bad experience, because, I mean, I'm saying bad because you never know, because when you start, when you start thinking, you never know what's gonna how you're gonna end up thinking that and And I started a couple of books which which affected me so much because you are you're becoming vulnerable both to the plague, like covid

Also, you're becoming vulnerable to the bad tolls. Um, but I managed it. I hope so, because, like, right now, I'm much better

And those philosophical philosophical thoughts are not done completely. But they change my life, and I'm more focused on my career. And I focused more on my life to live because right now I'm thinking that the future is completely mine to live

So those covid times, you know, um I can see that with those covid the things that I did during those covid times affect me in a good way as well. So I am more like a optimistic for now. More than pessimistic

Yeah, that's all, I guess. Have a great day peace.
