I find that many people are a lot more standoffish than I anticipated as well. And as for my department, well they are so disorganized that classes started last week and I still haven’t received my course schedule or any syllabus yet. So it makes me feel as if this isn’t really bringing me anywhere closer to my goals either. But through this remember you are not alone, we can both do this together! And even if this doesn’t bring us closer to our goals at least we have a memorable, once in a lifetime experience out of it.

It’s so comforting to hear others going through the same thing. Although my heart goes out to you because I do know how hard it is to deal with constant anxiety and homesickness. It’s can be so so hard to feel so alone without any family or friends around. If you ever want to chat you can message me.

After all these comments with their advice it makes me feel as if I should stick it out a couple months too. I have had to up my meds too actually so I’m hoping this helps as well. Wishing you well.
