Mental health and adjustment

Zoe

I just moved to Oberlin three days ago and I know it takes some time to get adjusted, but I’m having a really hard time. My mental health hasn’t been very good for a while and I haven’t really found people I click with yet, so I’m pretty miserable right now. The dorm I’m in has a pretty weird vibe, it’s supposed to be sustainable living but it’s actually really unsustainable and has a kind of frat house feel which makes me uncomfortable. I keep having anxiety attacks when I try to good the big orientation week things, but I have really bad FOMO if I just stay in my room and I feel really left out and sad. My anxiety and depression have both been pretty awful since getting here, so talking to people and getting comfortable has been really hard. I needed to rant and I didn’t know where to put it, so it’s here. But also, do any of you have any advice? I’m pretty miserable right now and I know it will eventually get better, but this is awful right now and I don’t want this to be the beginning of my college experience
