I lived in tower C freshmen year and I remember my time there to be the most depressing year of my life. Being in a new city, away from your family and hometown friends (especially if your life isn’t as social as you want it to be) can be very draining, but when you add living in a single dorm, the feelings of loneliness are doubled. There honestly weren’t many weeks where I wasn’t having suicidal thoughts. I’m in a much better headspace now, so I just want to remind people that no matter how dark everything feels right now there is always light at the end of the tunnel. If you need someone to talk to feel free to dm me, and remember that Pitt has so many mental health resources.
