Okay so this post will be long and a bit confusing but please bear with me.
So I am first year in university and I am struggling quite bad with mental issues.
I am living away at home about half an hour down the road with some friends. Trouble is i'm quite anxious and homesick. Every Wednesday I go back home and I just can't wait for the weekend til I go back. I usually just in my room doing work or noting productive most of the time while the rest of the people in my house go out. I'm a worrier and emotional person in general. I cry almost every Monday when I go back to my rented home and just want to go back to my real home. I have been feeling this for a few weeks now but it's sort of building up and it's coming out now.
Also, the people I'm living with are my friends but aren't super close friends and I find myself being picked on and made fun off by the rest of them. While they are only joking, I sometimes take it personal and wonder if they don't like me. They also ask me why I go home on a Wednesday, I just think of some silly excuse rather than telling them it's because i'm homesick. My friends who I was close to in school have all gone to other universities far away.
Should I talk to my family about this, I'd feel a bit embarrassed doing so. They do know I am a very anxious person- but they don't know anything about what I've described above. I've gotten to the point where I'm just super worried and homesick and I can't help it. I am on antidepressants.
Thanks
