Hello! My name is Asya! I am actually studying my master degree! However thinking my past that i changed my my country , made me think a lot the place that i get used to study, the people who was motivating me. They are not anymore next to me. Its really hard to leave the things to the past without thinking them. I need support for it. I cannot stop myself when i study without thinking these thinks. I am really scaring to study. When i was in my country i had self confidence on me but now, i don’t.

Hi Asya,

Welcome to the community.

I moved countries several times and I didn't always speak the language. I don't know whether you need any help or whether you already speak the language fluently.

It is tough leaving familiarity behind and start in a completely new place. It's terrifying. But there is also excitement to have a new start and find new ways. I think that for me, the curiosity and excitement, were the very important part of the experiences.

Finding something that you like in the new country, might help you find a way to see yourself in the future.

I understand thinking back to positive experiences and people that helped make learning enjoyable in the past. Do you have an opportunity to call them maybe via video, and tell them what you miss about the experiences?

Keeping in touch might help with missing them.

I think sometimes it's like our lives are started over and everything is different so it's like finding a new way.

Having someone to talk to might help significantly.

I'm sorry that it is so scary to study. I know how it's like to lose confidence.

Sending my support and I'm here for you...

Asyasay:

Welcome to our caring, safe community.

Life changes, moving out of our comfort zones and missing people is very difficult. Settling down and regaining focus will take some time.

I was wondering the same as Nathalie, is there a way to stay in touch with the ones you have left behind in your country? Maintaining the connection may help with your anxiety and feelings of loneliness.

Are there any groups you can join to work on making new comforting friendships?

I'm so sorry you are struggling. Remember, your strengths are still there. You haven't lost that confidence it is just shadowed by your anxiety and depression over new things and a lost comfort zone. You are still in there and your light will shine again.
