Hi,
I wasn't sure this was the right place to post this but hopefully someone can help!
I started university in September so I've only been there about a month and a half but it's made me feel so low. I don't know what triggers it as I love my course and I've been really lucky with the flat mates I've been put with, we all get on really well.
I only live half an hour away from the uni so I go home every weekend as I find it's the only thing that keeps me going because I hate spending weekends in halls, plus most of my flat mates go home or go out with family so I'd be on my own.
It doesn't help that my flat mates are in lectures on the days I'm not so on a Monday and Thursday I'm in the flat all by myself and even though I get work done, I feel so alone. I don't feel like I have a purpose to get up as all I do is wake up, spend the whole day doing uni work then it won't be until dinner time that I will go into the kitchen with everyone because that's when they all get back.
I'm home at the moment for reading week but I have to go back on Sunday evening and I'm dreading it, I just hate it so much.
I know loads of you will say 'Don't go home every weekend' but that's the only thing that gets me through the week, I just feel so trapped at uni. I've been to the doctors to see if they can give me any advice but they didn't help so I just feel like it's never going to end, I feel like I'm going to feel this low forever, I've only been there a month and a half and I just want the year to be over so I can come out of halls!
Anyone else felt like this or can offer advice?
