I have never slipped so far into such a deep funk before. I am starting to miss work because I just can't function anymore. I am from Japan and currently studying at a university in Maryland. I have been in this country for three years. These days I feel so unhappy, hopeless, sad, and especially lonely.
Tears often come out for no reason.
Sometimes I feel my body needs more fresh air, and I breath so deeply it is painful. I don't feel motivated. I skipped so many classes because I felt I could not go. To me, just going to class or the library is not an easy task. I have been sad for a little bit more than one year.
