I’m in desperate need of some reassurance? guidance? I’m going abroad to study in 1-2 weeks from now and I’m so anxious and sad and miserable ALREADY it’s insane. My parents got divorced when I was 15 and after the divorce, I have formed and cultivated such a close-knit bond with both my mom and little brother it’s insane. It’s always been us 3 against the world and the thought of having to be separate from them both makes me so incredibly depressed and anxious its insane! These days, I’d share a joke with my mom or hear my little brother giggle and I’d immediately feel sad and I can feel the dread wash over me knowing I’m going to be away from this for A YEAR. I have crippling anxiety as it is, so I don’t know how I’m going to navigate it all alone in a completely different country away from the people I love w extreme homesickness sprinkled all over it. If any of you have been in similar situations, how did you push through?
