Best Of

like the others have said - whilst everything feels overwhelming and a lot, it will start to feel like a new normal probably quicker than you think. chances are everyone else is in the same boat. there will be others feeling exactly the same way as you do. try and take it a day at a time - you've got this!!!

sending hugs

Yeah, I feel this too sometimes. The threads don’t end like a natural conversation would, it’s a sudden ending when a certain time is reached, so it can feel a bit odd. I tend to get lonely after a conversation when everyone is gone as well. I’m not sure why it happens.

I remember feeling the same when I started university many years ago. You will eventually meet people and make friends. It will start to feel like home. Stick with it if you can.

You’re doing amazing, it will work itself out and if it doesn’t then it’s not the right place for you. It’s hard to start anew so just be kind to yourself and stay strong.

I’m so sorry you’re struggling so much, but to some extent I think this is normal as a lot of my friends last year told me they felt exactly the same way. I haven’t even arrived yet (I’m leaving today!!!) but I have no doubt that it will be so scary and strange at first. Obviously I can’t give you advice based on my own experience just yet, but take it slow and go one moment at a time. Text your family if you can about anything at all, just to hear them respond! Maybe focus on cooking some easy food and keeping some snacks in your room so at the very least you can eat something. Talking more on here could help too with feeling less alone. I’m sending you massive virtual hugs!! Remember that it’s completely valid to struggle at first but over time things will slowly get a little better.

so proud of you your going to do amazing i’m here if you need anything. hugs 🫂
