Mental breakdown

[sad_watermelon]

Here comes the next mental breakdown. I spent the whole day with my parents and then came to the dormitory. The second I entered the quiet room I started crying. Tomorrow is my last day with my parents. With the last familiar thing I have here. The only people I actually know here. I tried so hard to meet somebody, but it didn’t work. Now all I leave for is the comfort movies and series I play while I am doing things so I feel less lonely. I want to go home and have my old life. Everything changed so fast. First me and my boyfriend decided to stay friends, then he ignored me and removed me from contacts and didn’t text me, now I am in a new country and the past few days were so hard and it’s going to get even harder… I don’t know how I’m going to go through all of it. I am not a person who is able to survive alone.

Is there any chance you will have a roommate? In the us most dorm rooms has two students.soon you will be busy with schoolwork that will occupy your time. Do you have any hobbies you’re interested in? Maybe try a new one. Keeping busy will help.

I'm sorry you are going through a tough time right now.

I will say that's not exactly true "you're not the type of person to survive alone" You are much tougher than you give yourself credit for.

You handled the break up with class and dignity. Despite what your ex did.

Yes, things will be different for you. But that's not necessarily bad. People rather stay in a familiar hell than an uncomfortable heaven.

Yes the next few days will be a bit rough because you'll get homesick and you have to grieve the loss of the relationship with your ex. Because that was blindsided you. And you won't get closure from that.

However once you start going to your classes and meet with other students. You will find your people. Eventually you'll forget how scared you were.

Besides we are always here if you need us to give you a boost.

Wishing you love and hugs 🫂 ❤️

We are made to live in community. We all need others and you shouldn't expect to have to survive alone. When you get time find a place to volunteer which might give you shoulder-to-shoulder talking experiences while you work together on something.
