Anxiety and studying abroad?
Anxiety Support / by anoranza

...See more So I took a leap and am studying abroad in a different country from home. Initially I wasn't experiencing as much anxiety as I had anticipated but yesterday was really bad. All day I felt kind of out of it, headache, nausea, constant need to go to the bathroom. I brought my anxiety medication but now I'm fearing that if I keep experiencing episodes like this I won't have enough to last me the entire program and I was hoping to get some tips on how to reduce this feeling. For example this morning I woke up feeling anxious, possible because I was worried about feeling anxious again. I have a lot of support back at home but it's hard with the time difference and I don't want to cause any worry. My doctor told me I could reach out to him at any point but I'm not sure how that would help me out, maybe I should give it a shot. I've not told my professor here how I've been feeling because I'm not sure I'm comfortable enough to open up to her about this. I also have a little support from other students in the group but I don't want to feel like a burden or "Debbie downer" because I'm feeling too anxious to go out or do anything. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for listening

Tired of waiting
Relationship Stress / by anoranza

...See more It's been over 4 months since we stopped talking. We had been having ups and downs for a while and then that argument was it, all communication stopped, there was never even an official "this is over, we're breaking up" kinda thing. It just stopped. But I guess we took it as a break up. A few weeks ago I thought I was finally starting to feel okay, I started the new semester which has helped me keep my mind off of this but I've just been missing him like crazy the past couple of days. I hate how much I've been thinking about him. Even in class my mind wanders because I'm thinking about him. I made it even worse by lurking his social media and seeing he had already resumed communication with a girl he loved before we started dating. It stings but I know he's going on with his life and I need to move on too but I fear I'm still in love with him and am not ready to have him completely out of my life. I did some cleaning and found some of his clothes. I want to give them back and I know I will, but I don't know how or when to reach out. Some of the items have sentimental value to him and I would feel better returning them to him but I'm scared to reach out to him to ask because of how things ended. I also feel like I don't really want to give them back because I think they're an excuse for him to reach out to me, but I know I'm only hurting myself more by waiting and I need to let go. If anyone has any advice on how to go about this I would appreciate it so much.
