I’m gonna cry

2025/1/14 Edited to

... Read moreOkay, seriously, that first week of college hit different. I swear, by the time it passed, I felt like my roommate and I both just wanted to 'die' from the sheer overwhelm. If you're reading this, and you're feeling that intense urge to cry right there in the library or during a lecture, trust me, you are SO not alone. I've been there, and honestly, sometimes I'm still there. It's like, one minute you're excited, and the next, you're wondering how to not cry at school without everyone noticing. My biggest revelation? Allowing yourself to feel it. Don't bottle it up. But when you're in public and feel those tears welling, I've found a few things help me. First, deep breathing. Seriously, just focusing on your breath for a minute can sometimes pull you back. Then, find your 'safe' spot. For me, it's a quiet corner of the student union or even just stepping outside for a moment. It's not about avoiding the feeling, but managing where and when you let it out. Beyond the immediate crisis, I've been trying to figure out how to navigate these feelings long-term. One thing that's been a game-changer is connecting with other people who are also in their 'first week of college' phase. Realizing we all feel a bit lost helps so much. We're all in this together, and sometimes just sharing a laugh or a vent session makes the 'wanna die' feeling less intense. Don't underestimate the power of basic self-care. I know it sounds clichƩ, but getting enough sleep, eating something decent, and even just taking a 15-minute walk can make a huge difference in your emotional resilience. And if you're really struggling, please remember that campus counseling services are there for a reason. There's no shame in reaching out. It's a sign of strength, not weakness. This college journey is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be tough days, especially during these initial weeks. But remember why you started, give yourself grace, and know that these feelings are temporary. We're learning, growing, and figuring it out, one 'wanna die' moment at a time. Hang in there!
