homesick.
i recently moved back into a dorm at college, and i thought i would have the time of my life here, but in reality, i’m currently laying in bed awake at 3:30am crying my eyes out because i miss my family. i’m not alone by any means. i have good friends here but i struggle with opening up about how i feel to them, and so i just suffer in silence most of the time. i’m really letting it all get in my head and i wish i was able to pull myself out of this rut, but i don’t think i can without some guidance.
Hi just wanted you to know that I experienced the very same thing, and I contacted a counselor at the campus student life services office. Reach out to somebody on campus they have peer groups designed specifically to welcome you. You are not alone! It’s a very difficult adjustment period, be easy and kind to yourself.
