I am away from my home country and currently taking therapy in the US but there is this overwhelming feeling of loneliness. I try to find real connections but somehow I miss my family and friends there. I don’t know what to do. Covid has made it worse for a lot of people and for me too. I feel like going back home but I have to complete my studies here and learn to live alone too on my own. I tried dating too but I have this anxiety which is tough to overcome. I’m trying my best!
Looking for solutions.

It is definitely easy to understand why you would be experiencing this loneliness being away from home and the things which are familiar and comforting. Are you able to be in contact with your family on a regular basis or does that just make you miss them more? Are you doing school online or are you able to have in-person interactions with other students? Are you living in an area where you can get out and do activities to meet people?
Hi Saumya7171, I’m sorry you’re feeling lonely. I’ve found volunteering helpful. I hope you feel better soon.
Be patient with yourself and study and trust inGod. Just about the time you've accepted being alone that is when the special someone will come across your path. Where you study or work or live just be yourself and have faith. Also its normal for you to miss your family. All of you have made sacrifice s so you can come and study here. Things will get better. Life can be difficult no matter where you are so study and do what you can. Also you can call or write or text or skype your family. Take care. Be blest.
Loneliness is tough. I've had times where I really hardly had any friends, and my family and I have some issues. Try to stay in touch with the people you get along with well in your family and friendship circles. Even if it's just some texts, hold on to the ones you hold dear. I've done some volunteer work in the past, and that can be a great way to meet some other people and to feel useful. Even just doing that one or two days a week, there is always a big need for volunteers at food banks and assisted living centers. Of course follow the protocol for this pandemic and wear your mask and constantly wash your hands. And this site has some great people on it too!!!! Hope you come back 🙂
