so. it’s been a long time since i’ve logged in. i’ve been having some problems & not dealing with them very well. miss the groups we got going here, though, so…back i come.
i’m actually working through a traumatic thing that happened last year. my counselor is having me journal about it and then share parts of it during our sessions. up to…[Read more]-
I get your feelings. I’ve had to move back to my tiny isolated hometown for the summer and it’s causing me to avoid leaving the house as much as possible, including avoiding friends and drinking a whole lot to try and forget where I am. I think journaling is probably a helpful thing for this… also hugs! Here, have a consensual and platonic…[Read more]

thank you, @kimbit. *hug* it takes so much energy to make an effort to be social. sometimes it’s just not there to draw on. i’m comforted by the fact that my friends understand things are tough at the moment.
…and i’m sorry to hear that you’re not having a very good summer. i hope you get to go back to living in a place that you enjoy and feel…[Read more]

i know how you feel; i’m going through something somewhat similar at the moment, where it’s really hard to want to be in other people’s company unless they’re really close friends (and hence less effort) – but things do get better. hang in there :) i’d also agree with what kimbit suggested, writing or some other form of expressing yourself…[Read more]

thanks for that, @christine. *hugs* to you, too.

So, I joined this group mainly because I am stressing about going back to college. My first year away at school left me isolated, clinically depressed, and in a state of depersonalization. Afterward, I took off a semester and then took some classes near my home. Now, I am looking to move away again for school, and I am terrified that it will be…[Read more]

Hey, I just wanted to say, I definitely felt something similar back in my first year of university/college. I’m now in my last year and graduating soon. At the time I just sucked it up and kept going anyway, mostly because I didn’t have much of a choice (for many different reasons). It does get better though — it takes time to settle into places,…[Read more]

Not to detract from the seriousness of either of our posts, but damn, those emoticons look ridiculous.
-
Yeah, not going to lie. Those emoticons do look kinda random winking and smiling there in the middle of the paragraph. Almost creepy even…:-)
But your response is full of positivity and useful advice so it’s all good.-
…and I fail at making emoticons…

I just graduated from college a couple of months ago and felt similar to you during my first year. I started off with a roommate but by the second semester I’d moved into a single dorm and further isolated myself.
During my second year I decided to do something different. I got another roommate – who turned out much better than the first, got an…[Read more] -
God yes, this sounds like my first year of college to a T! I was really alone. It sucked, but I have great news- I know what to do. You just have to make yourself sign up for volunteer and group activities. Specifically, I’d say join your university’s feminist and/or LGBT groups, and get involved. You’ll make friends, be happier, and feel like…[Read more]
