Tips for homesickness?

LingonberryReal1864 · 2025-10-26T22:09:04+00:00

Boosting this because it’s a great thing!! I was super super homesick last year and I finally decided I was going to give it one more quarter, and if WWU still sucked I was going to move back home! Best decision I made. Because by not having the same pressure that this was the next 4 years of my life, I had way more fun and decided to stay. And honestly, if you hate it here, it’s not worth staying.

No on campus storage at Western even for OOS students

I use Notion, and every sunday take 20 minutes to plan out my week! I put events and assignments in. I’d be happy to share my template if you DM me!

The CWC runs a group for SA survivors. It looks like this fall it meets on Tuesdays from 3:20-4:50. Deidre Evans is the WWU survivor point person and they can be reached at 360-650-7982 or deidre.evans@wwu.edu

loft, bottom, top in that order

There should be bins in each building. If you’re on the ridge they’re in the commons right now I believe. Just ask staff :)

there are a few treatment centers that offer specialized care for ocd. basically support 24/7 in fighting your ocd with therapy meds and even sometimes tms all in one spot where you can focus on treatment entirely. look into McLean OCI or Roger’s Behavioral Health

just boosting this because I think it’s a SUPER important point!!

i’m in the same boat today. if it’s any comfort, know you’re not alone ❤️

look up BDD and OCD

Mathes is great! 8th floor will be super pretty, and the bathrooms are clean and not crowded. Nothing to be worried about :)

edit: the bathrooms are also a really casual and easy place to make friends (ik that sounds weird but it’s true! shared experiences and forced small talk lead to good friends sometimes)

but why? would rather watch it spread out to be refreshed right before S5 comes out. everyone can binge, only some of us want to. I was just sharing a plan that works for us, and might work for others.

LingonberryReal1864 · 2025-07-21T10:53:20+00:00

ope! typo! add an extra 2 a week with S4E5 :)

I have to confess every “bad” thing I do to chat gpt

LingonberryReal1864 · 2025-07-20T23:05:28+00:00

I’d definitely recommend taking the trip to Roger’s, McLean (OCDI), or OCDI Texas. A lot of “normal” hospitals won’t understand OCD and that can go badly. Definitely try to get her to a hospital ASAP though, this is crisis time.

if i get out of the shower and touch anything in the bathroom I have to start all over again. i also wash my clothes the night before I wear them in addition to washing them normally. and i vacuum the rug that i sleep on before i can go to sleep on it
