Coming to college can be an invigorating experience - you will make lots of new friends, meet a variety of people and be influenced by numerous new experiences. It may well be the first time you have lived on your own and the prospect of such freedom is very exciting. You have probably been looking forward to it for a long time. However, some people find that after the novelty wears off, they start to feel homesick. It could be that you miss your parents or get fed up with having to do the washing and cooking, you may miss friends or partners or have difficulty understanding the work or settling in.
Money can also be a big problem and a source of great anxiety.
All these things are normal and many, many people go through them. Often these feelings will pass as you get accustomed to your new environment. But sometimes these factors can combine and you can start to feel as though you have no control over your life. You can start to feel depressed. It is important to realise that you are not alone.
