I’m currently on summer vacation. If you read my other threads, especially “unhappy at boarding school”, it might give you some background information on my situation. I go to a boarding school and I feel really lonely. A lot of people are fake, I have friends but I’m not particularly close with them and haven’t established trust with anyone. I feel extremely lonely and even now, during summer break, these thoughts are traumatizing me because (by the way, vacation started just recently) I am DREADING of going back to school. So much. I think I might be depressed. And the worst is I don’t have to deal with any of this now. I’m on vacation. But mere thoughts of school are ruining my vacation. I really need help. Maybe something to help me either enjoy the moment, or look forward to school (not really sure how to get me to look forward to school but maybe it’s possible)… Also, please do not suggest switching schools as that is not an option and suggesting this will not help.
Thank you.
Also, another thing is I have friends I can trust outside of school, espcially my best friend who I wish went to my school! Anyway, but at school it’s so different.
I believe this is the thread you’re referring to: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/1773610-unhappy-at-boarding-school-as-a-day-student.html
Have you talked this over with your parents, school advisor or Family Doctor ? You need to discuss this with an adult not other kids on CC Café because they can’t really help you or get you the help you need. Everyone needs a shoulder to lean on and reaching out to peers is fine but if you’re feeling depressed and these feelings are causing you this much pain- you need to talk to an adult ASAP.
Take care and I hope you feel better soon.
You mentioned that switching schools is not an option. But I think it can be an option.
I don’t think you are simply whining or nagging. Discuss with your parents or a doctor if you haven’t yet. Don’t keep it to yourself. It won’t get you anywhere and you will remain unhappy.
Hey, hon. I totally understand where you’re coming from! DM me if you need to talk about anything or rant. I went through something kind of similar.
