I really wanna go home

I've just finished my second year at uni (didn't do my exams cos i am restarting) and i've started feeling really down and i just really wanna go home. My best mate is going home for half term (she is a teaching student) on saturday so i'm gonna be alone in my house till next thursday which is when i am going home. My parents are in a mood with me for restarting my year so i don't even know why i wanna go home, (its not because of them). I don't really wanna leave my mates and my boyfriend but i've just had it with everything at the moment. I'm feel so low i'm almost underground.

ok. I feel like that to a lesser degree sometimes and I know others definately do. maybe its just an natural thing, cos youve been at "home" for so long in your life its hard to stay away from it without it entering in your mind.

anyway I suggest you go home and enjoy it there, soon enough you'll forget it all and feel fresh again, and hopefully have a better time next year
I think I know what you mean, to just 'get out of it' for a bit, go back to home as a bit of a sanctuary where you can hide yourself away from stuff maybe? Just focus on enjoying the next week and remind yourself that it's not long at all 'til you can go home - by September you probably won't be able to wait to go to Uni, so it's all swings and roundabouts :smile: You'll be ok :hugs:
Aww, it's tough and when it's tricky with your parents it's like being caught between a rock and a hard place. My best advice would be to invite a good friend or your boyfriend to come and stay in the house with you for a few days so you're not so lonely, and to call your parents tomorrow and tell them how you're feeling and that you need their support. :hugs: chin up :smile:
It was bit like this last year but it started earlier (like April time) and was no where near as bad. I had a really disappointing night out, my last chance to go out with my best friend and i didn't have fun. She's gone home now, she left today. My dad is the only one being nice to me about restrating my year, he's is the only one who can see it from my point of view, my mum won't even talk to me, she won't reply to my texts and won't answer my calls.

:hugs: I know how you feel, im still at home but i dont wanna be here i'd love to just pack up and leave and start somewhere new. My mum was pretty annoyed when i stopped one uni course after 6 months and wanted to change onto another one but you have to do whats right for you.

Maybe go home for a few days or to a friends at another uni just to give yourself a break. You have to do what's right for you and if that means starting the year over then do it, maybe sit down with your mum and explain how you feel and if she still refuses to talk to you i'd write her a letter explaining your feelings :hugs:

At least you want to go home. I finished my last exam the last week and now I'm sat around twiddling my thumbs, bored. My money won't last forever, but I can't stand the thought of going home! I love living on my own far too much.

Ah, your mum is just disappointed. I wouldn't worry too much; she'll come around. Stop trying to phone her. She may be your mother, but deal with her the same way you would with a childish friend. I'm sure you had your reasons for retaking.
