Dear Kshitij:

You are welcome and thank you for always being honest with me!

“I do not know if it is OCD or depression“- it could very well be both. I was diagnosed with OCD and with Depression at one time.

“Every day there is something that makes me feel a lesser person, that makes me feel my life is not good right now… Sometimes I just feel so weird about life itself, and in those moments I feel very alone.”– you feel very alone, and I know how it feels. But objectively, you are not alone: there are many, many people who feel so very alone. I wonder if there is a support group in Oxford for students who feel very alone.

And you are not a lesser person, Kshitij, I am sure of it, no doubt in my mind!
