Hi @221_Atlas
I respect the fact that you may have wanted to delete the post for a reason but I'm really sorry to say that I was able to read your post......I was trying to reply back from the weekend, but my laptop's browser has been unreliable for some time...
It seems that a lot have been going in your life....
Letting it all out is the first step towards healing and I could see that in your previous post you did a great job at letting things out. I can imagine how hard it must be to think and write about certain issues. That was very brave of you to share.
That day, it seemed like you were very overwhelmed with things that were building up in your life. How do you feel about things now?
If you're okay with it, we could chat about the things you mentioned in your previous post....
I just want to let you know that you are not alone...feel free to write the most longest essay ever because we're always here to read and be your support....
Take care
Hey, thanks for responding. I read my post back a couple hours after posting and felt a little silly so i took it down, i don't really care that people saw it lol. I feel better now, writing it out helped a lot. Thanks again for reaching out 🙂
Hey @221_Atlas
That's alright...we're all here to listen...
How was your day today?
I can understand that making friends at uni is really big challenge. I started uni during COVID, so it was pretty isolating in the 1st place. I wasn't even a social media user so it was really hard to connect with people. When I came on campus, I thought things would be different, but it was hard since I am an international student, and everyone was already in groups-even international students made their own groups with kids from their country. Later on, as we did some group work, I made 2 close friends...we barely see each other face to face due to our conflicting timetables. They work and I don't. Even when we do make plans it's either me having to turn don plans due to my relatives I live with, or them due to their work schedule....
I totally get your point with your Nepali friend. Meeting people and creating meaningful relations is really hard. And you know, the most interesting thing was that even when people seem to have friends seem to be friends just for the sake of joining the group, they too are still in search for meaningful friendships. Don't be disheartened...you meet a lot of people in your uni years. Some of them will be just numbers saved in your phone to ask about what the tutor said, and some will be there for you at times when even the ones really close to you aren't available. It'll take time.... good things always take time.
It's okay to feel jealous of your friend not spending enough time...we all want to have this best friend. We are sociable creatures so it's natural for you to miss your Nepali friend and feeling guilty towards hanging out with your American friend for what happened seems a tough situation.
I am really sorry that you had to go through such a difficult time, with your friendship, family relations and loss.
Losing a parent is one of those hardest griefs of life. We stand with you through your healing journey. Just remember that even if he is not physically present, he'll always be there in your heart, his values that you hold......and no one would be able to take that from you.
I can empathize with how important those things of sentimental value must be to you...
And then the family drama.... amidst the funeral. It must have been really overwhelming and mentally draining... Hope things aren't as bad now.
With regards to your mental health and gender, I think it's really brave of you to talk about it. Thank you for trusting us. With everything going on, it is really important to be in touch with your mental and physical health and reach out for help when needed.
Here is a website that I found with a list of online mental health helplines and counselling services.

Hope this helps a little....
If you need to talk about anything, just flick a post and we all we try our best to stand with you as you find your way through your stormy days of life.
Take care and keep writing those long essays to let it out...sometimes you just need to let it out of the system...👍
