It was never a case of her fault. No, she brought it on herself by making dumb decisions in personal relations. She overreacted at Lena (whose logic was completely solid after multiple years of Kryptonian threats). She panicked and tried to appeal to emotions with government leaders (instead of using the Superman Defense and avoiding any idea of her even HAVING a human identity altogether). She went along with the incredibly dangerous Alex Mindwipe Plan (instead of convincing Alex to go back to the retirement plan).

All of Kara's recent problems have everything to do with her own decisions of how to handle situations. She is no freak, her alien status is about incredible powers, her appeal to an alien's lack of privilege is nonsensical when there are aliens having to hide their looks and physical attributes just to stay active in a society. Kara deliberately placed herself in her current situation (two jobs at the newspaper and the government, unneeded secret identity, lack of awareness about what info a government agent is supposed to provide - like, their real name and identity to the superiors), and the moment things don't go her way she acts like her problems are of the same gravitas as Nia's, Alex's, or those government-tortured aliens.

It's a shame, because the ONE TIME Kara actually figured out how to be Kara Zor-El, agent of the DEO, her friends badgered her back into the identity crisis because they oh-so-missed Kara Danvers the absentee reporter, instead of just helping Kara rethink her priorities. Like, an actual Kara Zor-El passport that would cover any "secred identity crisis" like the one she's having right now.
