I’m so glad you went to the counseling center and found some support there. Don’t expect it all to change overnight. Be proud of every tiny step you are making; this is a huge change for you and you are doing really well with it.
Just wanted to update anyone who’s still following this thread:
Well, I’m now a sophomore in college and I’m okay with that. It’s the second week of school and the problems from last year are much smaller this year. Anxiety isn’t as bad and my depression isn’t as prominent. I have a job this year on campus and I have friends and I’ve found things to enjoy about my campus. I’m actually pretty happy in college now.
Thank you to everyone who responded in this thread and, now that I can look at it with a clear head, I think I should allow myself to feel what I feel and accept my feelings as okay. I deal with the emotions when they come about, but I’m still going through life and I think I’m doing fine.
@SoMuchAnxiety Thanks for your update. Your thread could help others who feel like you felt last year.
@SoMuchAnxiety what a great update! Kudos to you for working through it! You should be commended! It really speaks to your maturity and strength of character. So happy you are in a good place. This thread can definitely help others as stated above! Best of luck to you going forward!!!
It’s very thoughtful of you to come back and update, and it will help others.
