This past week I've recently moved into college and started classes. It had been going fine at first and I was enjoying it by over the first couple of days I slowly felt like I was becoming isolated as all my classes are online. I had been talking to my girlfriend nonstop too to help me feel like I still had someone to talk too even though my lectures were online and now she went off to college and is having the best time possible. I've thought about contacting a local therapist on campus but I had looked into the reviews of the place by past students and it seems that they are not the best. I want to talk to someone and have them help me either with some medication to helps my nerves calm down or finds ways to relax my mind so I don't overthink. I just wish things didn't have to be this way to kick of my college experience and I wish I did have to feel so strongly sometimes about my girlfriend cause I really miss her but I don't want to disrupt her experience or ruin her happiness so far.

I am sorry for what you are going through, Matt. Many students are going through the same problems in these tough times. I believe that there are things people, not just students, can do to adapt to our current situations such as learning to love being in quiet environments and focusing on whatever they are reading. I am trying to do that and I also look for inspirational materials to read such as the Bible, literature that is uplifting, and staying away from all the negative news. You may also ask help from your parents to get some form of therapy. And consider going to a local church and talk to the pastor. It is normally free and I found out that they have really solid insights on human and social issues.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
