...See more I slept for 15+ hrs today - no clue how that's even physically possible. I sleep to avoid studying, avoid thinking, avoid being alive in general and I have zero motivation to do anything. I've been skipping meals to stay in bed. sleeping without showering or brushing my teeth. I might as well be paralyzed atp.

struggling to find my people

...See more after years of moving back and forth between countries and rotating from school to school every year or two, I've just started uni and will be here for a semi permanent amount of time. but I'm falling into my depression hole again. between the academic workload and cultural/language barrier, it has become even harder to feel connected to my peers despite putting effort into socializing. I'm on my best behavior - being the sweetest person possible, trying to at least be enthusiastic while speaking for long periods of time (which is torture as an introvert), stepping out of my shell. yet I still don't feel like I belong. everyone else here has a place, a community, a group of people or at least close friends they reside in. or at the very least, peers they relate to. but nobody I know has been through the same journey as I have - nothing even relatively similar. I don't identify as an international student because I'm not a citizen of a foreign country, but I don't feel like a citizen of my homecountry either because of how much time I've spent abroad. the feeling of isolation has been amplified by the recent distancing of one of the few friends I thought I had, and just the sheer amount of academic workload I'm taking on compared to my classmates. imposter syndrome is also so heavy - I don't think I deserve to be here. the dissociation/disconnecting makes it even harder to focus on my studies - I've been so easily burnt out or overwhelmed. I'm not sure what to do anymore. all of this has just been so exhausting.
