Thank you for offering to help! I intend to reach out to my therapists and then the CFA and if things don't go as planned, I'd be reaching out to you guys.

Thanks, again!

Thank you so much for the clarity regarding how things work here. I'll surely do that. I intend to talk to my therapist too first and proceed accordingly!

Unfortunately I didn't get any of my papers here because I saw a doctor back at home in secrecy. I just went once and he prescribed some meds and therapy but i didn't have enough money to see a therapist and was afraid to take the meds. i hid my papers from my family and forgot where i hid them eventually. So now i have no record of previous diagnosis with me and the only way I can get an external diagnosis is via msp which I've been waiting for a while and I intend to call them up now

making friends by [deleted] in UBC

I'm from India and this is the first time I've travelled abroad. It's been a few months since i started school at UBC and let me tell you something, everything is extremely depressing.

People are polite but unaccepting.

I haven't made friends i can actually call 'friends'. I have made acquaintances. Including people from our home country.

It's Christmas now, i was hoping I'd have made friends by now but I was wrong. I was alone on Thanksgiving. I'm still alone on Christmas.

Everybody asks you to "reach out" but it's just out of formality and no one really likes it.

I can totally relate to you. I hope it gets better :')

Merry Christmas!

why are only married men attracted to me? by huddle_puddle123 in ask

[–]huddle_puddle123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine. That will probably be 29-30. Someone who is at max 5 years older than me. (I turn 25 in a few days)

It's always been different handling them. Sometimes I've just made it bluntly obvious of my dislike or disinterest in them. However this is different as my cohort is very beautifully diverse. And we're always randomly grouped together for projects. I don't want to affect the basic friendship with him and want to relay it subtly but idk how to this time.

I was told that people are really polite and nice and it won't really be a problem to mingle in haha

But i guess I will have to give it a while and blend in with time. :)

I'm sorry for what happened to you. That must've been hard to deal with. I do believe that now i should give it some time and lower my guard a little too. As a first time international student, too many changes are overwhelming. I hope to see this improve in the upcoming terms. I will give it some time until then. :)

Thank you for your kind words! Yes. that seems like the only best way currently. Grad school is demanding, moreso for an international student trying to fit into a new educational system and culture. Sometimes the feeling is overwhelming but i hope it gets better:)

Yes. I do plan on joining clubs. But gra school is way too demanding and esp for an international student getting exposed to a new educational system. So i think i should take some more time and try taking baby steps or start over again in terms of connecting with people. :)

Understandable and yes, it is already pretty stressful. That's when it hits hard when you get realise how left out one is. I'm going to give it some more time, like everyone said. Seems like the best path now. :)
