Overseas depression.?

Question

Hi, I study overseas away from my family and after this summer I will be studying overseas again for 10 months. This will be my 3rd year, and its very hard. Im homestaying with this family and their nice, but its very difficult for me.

Does anyone homestay too, and has some tips??

The thought of leaving my family again for a whole school year is very scary and sad...someone help

Answer 1

You must be pretty brave to be able to travel overseas to attend school in another country.  The great thing about it is that you learn about another culture, other people and how they live or go about their lives.

It must be hard to leave all of your friends and family behind and only be able to contact them through email or facebook, but there are plenty of other students who are also doing the same thing as you.

Maybe there is a group that you can join in the other country where you can get together with people from the country where you live, or there might be an online support group somewhere that deals with this.

Answer 2

Call your family every week or something so you at least get in touch with them and up to date stuff.

Go onto skype and do webcam and you can see their faces. Before you  know a year would have been gone and you've kept in contact with them all year, no worries. I mean its 10 months. Less than a whole year at least

I have moved to one state on the otherside of the USA from my home to be with my hubby who is the military I know nobody here and he is leaving at the beginning of 2009 for the war, Deployment, so Not only am I the farthest from my family that I have ever been... I have to worry about my husband dying!!! I know that you are young but this will lead to such great possiblities for you and if you have done it twice .... Well I think thats Fab, And just remember How proud they are of you And how you KNOW you will get to go home to them.... Keep you mind on your work and just enjoy the world!!! Take it from a mom of three who is scared and sad everyday!!!!!!!!!!! You will be great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get worry easily

Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.

Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg"

Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time

Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.

Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.
