Hey! Sorry in advance for the long post…
I just moved into college three days ago for my first year. I’ve been feeling really depressed lately about being away from my parents and my dog for so long. I miss my family really badly and I can’t stop crying about leaving them. I’ve never been away from home at all, so this is something entirely new to me. I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed so I’ve spent most of my time hiding in the school library. I’ve tried speaking to a few people, but they seem uninterested or rather annoyed when talking to me. My roommate and I don’t really talk as much either. It’s already been three days and I’m worried that I won’t make any friends (I’ve already seen a few of my classmates have already formed groups). Is anyone else in the same situation as me? How do you cope with this? Is it normal to still cry after three days of living on campus? Thanks for any help.
