Not Coping

Ooooo @Birdofparadise8 ! I'm so excited for you - still.

This is the 'honeymoon' phase - it will be smooth - for a while 🙂 Hold onto that while you can!

I'm here for you 🙂

It can be. @Birdofparadise8. Just start with the basics. Where you are from. What course you’re studying. What interests you have. What groups look interesting to join. Even the weather.

Yeah well that broke I already had a breakdown earlier today and one last night. Now though I am back in my room that's where things start to get hard. I am already trying to fight the tears and wanting to do things that I shouldn't @tyme

Nah, @Birdofparadise8 , You've practising conversing on the forums for months now - you are better than you think!

Actually, that's how I gained confidence with talking to people in real life - through the forums.

Well then I did ask all that and we are both from an only-child family which is cool and both born in 2003 @Captain24

Mmm okay I guess so it's harder in person though @tyme

That’s awesome. You already have things in common. You’ve been chatting to me all day @Birdofparadise8 and it’s all been general chat. You can do this.

Distraction isn't a long term solution, but perhaps now it's okay @Birdofparadise8 - distract yourself with something. Phone someone to speak to, watch something on your phone, complete today's Wordle.... anything

Nothing is helping me how can I go from happy and talking to a nice lady I met to now sitting in my room crying I am giving in to it.

Yeah, I guess so @Captain24 it's been nice.

It has been a good chat @Birdofparadise8
