college

[jay19tay]

being away @ college is so difficult when I'm in this state of mind. Its so easy for me to retreat from social interaction and fall out of a healthy rhythm. Lately I've been finding myself extremely lethargic (despite going to bed @ a decent time) and spending hours on end in the bed- skipping class and neglecting homework in the process. Its also really hard when you're surrounded by extroverted, active roommates & friends who don't know how to help/ignorant to what Im going through. hoping to get out of this latest funk which has hit the hardest since my switch to lexapro from Zoloft over summer.

Hey jay19tay,

<3 college is filled with so many overwhelming experiences, people, deadlines...ect. I agree with what was said earlier, see if you can talk to someone about what’s happening. I had a lot of fear around presentations/getting bad grades/social anxiety that kept me going, and I developed depression in my junior year, and I wish I’d had the mental health awareness to see I needed to talk to someone. I was one of the ignorant people too who didn’t see when people needed help too. It’s hard to know what to do or what to say if you have no background in what’s happening.
