The first year or so, yes. It really didn't help making friends in a new city.
Yup. Have been feeling like this for almost five years, since I started univeristy.
I started struggling with anxiety and depression shortly after I moved to another town. That, plus the exams accumulating and other minor stuff really did put my life on pause. After two years I was able to get sort of a break from uni, and I was able to unpause myself. I started going out with ppl and cultivating my interests, at least for a year. Now I'm trying to get my degree, and I should be able to in two months (shit it's so close).
I'm still struggling with anxiety a lot, but I feel like the only way out is by finishing university. Once I do that, I hope I'll be able to actually unpause my life, or at least find a good balance.
Sorry I don't really have any good advice, but know that you're not alone in this.
