What if you go to school outside the area and want to escape and go home, but you are afraid of leaving the house due to agoraphobia? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

The college student goes to school in a foreign place, and when he gets to school, he breaks down and just wants to escape and go home. Because once I break down at school, there is no one to save me, and I can't find a place to hide. What should I do?

Good evening, questioner.

From your description, it appears that you have been experiencing a significant degree of distress recently. You may wish to undertake a self-perception assessment, which can be conducted privately. This assessment involves rating your current state of mind on a scale of 0-10, with 0 indicating no anxiety and 10 indicating an extremely negative mood. It is also recommended that you consider the amount of time you spend in this state during the day and the duration of this state.

If the level of difficulty is rated at 7 or above on the self-assessment scale and the discomfort has persisted for a period exceeding two weeks without respite, or has even intensified, it is advisable to seek external assistance.

External assistance may be sought from a number of sources, including: 1. It is recommended that you inform a trusted family member, ideally someone who can provide a calming influence, of your distress and difficulties as soon as possible. 2. You may wish to consider requesting assistance from your school teacher, who may be able to provide guidance and support. Universities often have access to counselors and psychology teachers. If you feel that you are experiencing difficulties in adapting to the unfamiliar university environment, it may be helpful to trust your school teacher, who is someone you can rely on and can provide assistance in an unfamiliar setting.

In conclusion, it is important to note that vulnerability is a natural human experience, and there is no shame or fault in it. When we are vulnerable, it is crucial to utilize the resources available to us, including others and ourselves, to promote self-compassion. During the most challenging moments of our lives, it is essential to extend kindness to ourselves and others.

Hello. I can see that your text is very short and contains very little description. From what I can gather, you are in pain, feeling very insecure, helpless, and a little scared in the unfamiliar environment. It seems as though you are searching for a way to hide, but it's not easy to find.

You mentioned that you feel overwhelmed by going to university away from home. Could you please elaborate on what specifically makes you feel overwhelmed? Is it the fact that you are not quite used to the environment?

When we leave home for the first time to live on our own, we are sure to encounter many new challenges. It is normal to feel a little worried and scared at first, but with a little support and belief in yourself, you can overcome these feelings.

If I might make a suggestion, I can offer some guidance based on what I've read in your message.

It might be helpful to consider seeking professional psychological counseling. Talking to a counselor can be a way to address your concerns and gain a deeper understanding of your situation. It can also be a valuable opportunity to learn more about yourself and identify the underlying sources of your distress.

I believe that the best way forward is to try to find a solution.

Secondly, I wonder if you have experienced this before?

If so, perhaps it would be helpful to talk to friends and family about it. It might be beneficial to speak with a counselor as well.

If it's because you're away at school and experiencing this discomfort for the first time, it's possible that it's because you're not used to living on your own. You're in a new environment and you don't feel comfortable there, so perhaps it would be helpful to consider why you feel like you're going to collapse and no one will come to your rescue?

Could I ask why you feel so insecure? Is it perhaps a problem with your studies or your life?

Are there any difficulties you are experiencing in your relationships with your teachers or classmates? Or are you concerned about your ability to adapt to your new life?

It would be helpful to identify the problem in order to find the right solution.

Thirdly, it may be helpful to calm yourself down and remind yourself that you have the strength to face difficulties and find solutions to problems.

You might find it helpful to take some deep breaths, do some exercise, listen to some music, read a book, and relieve your anxiety and restlessness. You could also go away from the environment of your schoolmates and be alone for a while to calm down.

If you are aware of the root cause of your difficulties, you may wish to consult a relevant book on the subject. College is an opportunity to gain a wide range of knowledge and skills. You may find the book "Growing for Life" helpful.

I believe that if you believe in yourself, you can learn to solve many problems. I also believe that people need opportunities to know themselves, to exercise, and to grow.

I hope this is helpful. Wishing you the best.

Sometimes it's okay to admit you're feeling lost. Seeking counseling services on campus might offer the guidance needed during tough times like these.

Remember why you chose to study abroad in the first place. Connecting with that initial motivation can be a powerful way to regain strength and direction.

Maisie Thomas The essence of learning is to question, explore, and understand.

It's important not to isolate yourself. Try joining clubs or groups that align with your interests; this can create a sense of community and belonging.

Feeling homesick is completely normal. Perhaps setting up a regular schedule to talk with family back home can make the transition smoother and less daunting.
