Anxious and Homesick

Hey y’all!

Im a senior in college who just moved back to school and I’m so homesick and anxious that I’m feeling physically I’ll. I can’t eat or relax very easily and it seems like this knot in the pit of my stomach will never go away.

I feel like I grew much more comfortable at home this summer since I’ve been dealing with some grief and bad memories from my past there, and leaving that newfound peace has been incredible difficult for me. That, and knowing that this is my last year, I’m applying to grad school, and I’m doing harder and more important work is weighing on me.

I’ve been using cannabis more frequently than usual for my anxiety but it’s only been helping a little bit (and leaving me practically sedated) but I just can’t get rid of this inner restlessness eating away at me. I hope that once things start with school I’ll feel better but it’s impossible to know.
