[Feel like I'm going Crazy]

Is it weird that I have already started planning to re-apply in the next intake?? I've received 1/6 rejections so far. It's more frustrating because I am an international applicant with no other backups even in the country I currently reside in!

It would be relatively easier to just continue with  a PhD here but my referees aren't even letting me apply anywhere other than North America because they have high expectations of me! Every time I email them about possibility of applying elsewhere, they just respond with 'I wouldn't advise that'. This is so so frustrating!!

My self-confidence, self-esteem, self-worth and the whole lot is down in the dumps!

It's in the middle of march already, I am already losing hope of getting admitted (3/6 rejections). 2 of my applications are still "All Documents Received" so it is not a good sign.

I have been thinking of what are the things that I did bad this time, and what things I could improve next year. This 2 months has been hell for me
