Can't stop thinking about when to go home. Even have nightmares about it

Against_the_current profile image

I just can't stop torturing about when to go home. Every night nightmares about it, waking up and wondering which bed and which city i'm waking up in, seeing my unimates at their homes, thinking what if my mom and sis keep their life without me, do change, miss me and act stupid because of it, make any changes at home and at their lives, Bob aging. Probably they will paint the walls in August. I'm thinking about going this week but stressing so much about it and which day to go, and coming back here at 22july because i have therapy at 23rd (my therapist is in this city and also she's having an operation so she will be back from hospital then). Then resting a wek and trying to work at the appreciantice program. But wondering whether i can do it next year (so i can go home at August) or i will be counting as graduate then. But probably i better go now or i'm gonna keep on torturing, and they will be painting the walls... Agh so much estimations in my head. Wondering when to go and whether to go or it would ruin my progress here. My results on my anxiety and depression tests(took yesterday) are lowest since 3 years because i'm here.

Exactly it's overwhelming and complicated. I need to simplify. I'm doing a hundred calculations in my head and not getting anywhere

in reply to Against_the_current

that may be true - however

its because u aint dumb as stone (bright)

because of that - that person sees all the potential problems (happens in medicine alllllllll the time ...the bright ones see all the omgs and the dumb as dirt ones go ...all u do i put in chest drain.... dangerously stupid)

what appears to be over thinkingt isnt- its understand fear (happens in medicine all the time) its because ...u . aint....stupid

however.....ill chew on this elephant of a situa5tion...one bite a t a time

however...i dooooo have allies now.....not all or mor critics..

people who relate ...and know......wow.....ur ...wow not in a simpl situation.........let us know how we can help even just listen

having friends or allies helps anyone (why countires make alliances )

tc

wish i could send u a batallion of marines.....

i super sympathize....its due to emerg biochemicals and adreanline....normal 911 emerg response....

even season warriors get wound up in 911 situations (thanks brig but doesn help...how do i slow the train man)....as some said ....breahing ....findng ways to calm myself or not get pulled into scarier thinking (but dont lecture yourslef that im bad or not5 supposed to be like this)

its like being in ahouse fire..(what? im supposed to be all clam? ) however......im trying to deal with not all questions but stuff i can control and not get pulled inot endless scenarios of what if

ignore anything 5thats insulting...i dont***** mean it

that way ( i cant bear hurting people in need only bad peopele)
