  1. @Pink Fuzzy Bunny I also have a lot of anxiety surrounding social situations so it definitely makes it difficult to meet people. I have a really great group of people in my class, it's just so hard to form relationships with them when the way many of them choose to socialize is at bars/parties. I'm not opposed to going out, it's just sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with anxiety that I can't even leave my apartment. It's just crazy to me that I have already gone through a whole year and survived it, but now I'm having a breakdown about going back. I hope your move went ok and that things will get better for you soon. I know once school started for me last year it was hard to even think about anything else. That is what I really need. Just something to keep my mind off of all the things I'm missing out on at home and come Monday I will be back on a schedule and have a routine to help cope. @St Andrews Lynx thank you so much for your advice. I really just need some reassurance that things will be ok. I really did enjoy the perks of moving to a place where no one knows anything about you. It felt like a fresh start and I could really be who I wanted to be. I definitely need to try more new things and I have thought about doing meet ups. I'm just a little nervous to go by myself, but it would definitely be a great way to meet people. Thank you again.
  2. I've always had a hard time leaving home. All through undergrad I would cry most of my drives back to school and that was when I only lived a few hours away. Last summer I moved 11 hours away from home to start my grad program. The first year went really fast and I had a few rough patches, but I made it. Now I'm finishing up what will be the last summer break of my adult life and I'm having a really hard time coping with the fact that I won't be home much these next three years of school. My program becomes year round after the first year is done. All I can think about is how much can happen in that amount of time. My grandparents aren't getting any younger and what if this is the last time I get to see one of them? It will also be the longest amount of time Ive gone being away from home. My next visit will be thanksgiving. I'm just really starting to regret going to school so far away. It also doesn't help that I kind of feel alone at school. I have amazing friends at home and I have amazing friends from undergrad, but I really haven't found anyone who understands me at my new school. I have a hard time showing my emotions to my friends and family because I don't want to make my parents and friends worry about me. It would be really great to have someone to talk to who is maybe going through a similar situation or to just hear some advice on how to cope with this hard time and these thoughts I've been having.
