Routine, change, panic, summer

Post Reply New Topic

So here's the thing...

I'm in the college, in 4 days I'm going home (400 km away) I'll be there for 2 months... I'm already getting anxious and a bit depressed, I don't wanna go home cuz here I have my own routine and no one bugs me, and there I have to socialize, be with my family 24/7 ... last summer was the shittiest period in my life (and each summer is sh***y)... I hate changes, especially cuz I feel so good around here..

I just wanna be left alone in my room, then panic attacks kick in,I get depressed, lose weight, my behaviour gets worse, can't manage my anger, I hate summer!
I've got one friend who lives near me ( we re on college together) but I don't get to see her much because she travels a lot, and when I visit, her other bunch of friends are always there and I think there s no need for me to explain how that goes

Any advice on how not going crazy during summer break?

Just I hope it helps to know that I can relate to how you feel.

Thanks, it actually does, if I could sleep all the time I would

I, too, wish I could just sleep all the time. What keeps me going is my 3 children. I never thought someone like me would ever be married and blessed to have children. My marriage is over, now, but just knowing that my children need me gets me up in the morning. I guess, for you, try and focus on at least one thing you look forward to.

Back when I was in this situation, I was always avoiding my family by going for walks or runs when they were in the house, and when they were out I'd kick back in the living room or kitchen all by myself. Anyways, working out helped a lot. And I went to the library for a stack of books I'd been wanting to read but couldn't due to studies.

I hate the summer because I am sensitive to the heat. It makes me so tired that I don't want to do anything. For the past month, I have avoided anything I used to enjoy, heck I even stayed off the internet. That is how tired I have been.
