I Had To Leave My Study Abroad Program Early

    When Elizabeth first went on her school's study abroad program, she was so excited to learn about a new culture, see beautiful sights and experience everything that study abroad had to offer. She was always told that the study abroad program would be the best experience of her life and that she wouldn't want to come home by the time it was over.
    But when Elizabeth got off her flight and headed to her dorm, she couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of dread. She felt alone, overwhelmed and scared. She called her family for support, and her sister helped ease her mind.
    After the first week, Elizabeth was able to meet some awesome people and see amazing sights. However, even though things seemed to be going so well, she couldn't shake the feeling of dread. People would text and email her, asking how the program was going, and Elizabeth felt like she had to pretend that everything was great and that she was having the best time. She felt so much pressure to have a perfect experience. Because her parents had spent so much money on the program and her education, Elizabeth felt an added pressure to stay - she didn't want to hurt or disappoint her parents.
    Finally, after months abroad, Elizabeth called her therapist and made the difficult decision to go home. She told all her friends why she was leaving, and she created a post on social media explaining why she was leaving her program early.
    Now, when she's approached by people she knows, she still has a hard time describing her study abroad experience. Even though she was in a beautiful place with great people, she says to herself, "I had to put my mental health first."

      I agree, I've been valuing my mental health a lot more since...I don't really remember, since December 2019? Ever since my awful elementary and middle school memories have been coming up lately. (Even though I wasn't experiencing anything like it since my high school started) I am now trying to recover from those memories so I wouldn't be even more depressed.
      I've been trying to talk about my mental health to someone other than the psychiatrist (my parents, my bf and to some of my friends) but no-one seems to believe me, specially my mom. She once told me that she hates all psychiatric stuff, my bf once thought I'm having some kind of a facade. I'm not sure about my friends, some do believe though. With this going on, I began to be more afraid of telling about my mental health, since I fear that no-one cares/thinks I'm a liar.
      Sorry for the wall of text (and occasional bad English if there's any, English is not my first language), I think I went too far with my telling and accidentally opened up. 😅

If you ever need to talk to someone who has seen first hand what depression can do to someone (my best friend in this whole world) please feel free to refer to this comment. There are people in this world who truly care for you even if they don't understand what your going through. Nobody can ever understand what is going on in someone's head. If I had to recommend advice, tell your therapist about this, that you wanna open up to your loved ones but that they don't understand. You're therapist will help you, it's their job after all. Just know that I'm always happy to help wherever I can, even if it's a complete stranger. Much love and stay safe ❤️❤️

    " I felt like going home would make me a failure."
    Taking care of yourself isn't failing and that's exactly what she was doing. I'm glad you went home when you did because you may not have been able to come home right now and that would make the feeling of being trapped intensify.
    I know it may still feel overwhelming when you get questions about your trip but there is no need to feel bad. Tell people that you loved it, share your most memorable moments. Who knows? They may study abroad one day just like you did. And I hope that, when you are ready, you can do it again. ❤️

Yes, we should try our best to complete all of these things, but we should never exhaust ourselves in the process. It is okay to step back and gather your strength for something else.

    SORRY THIS IS KINDA LONG!
    It makes me feel so seen that her and I had such similar experiences. I just graduated high school in 2019 and I headed off to college a state above from where me and my family live. I was so excited at the start, I was ready for a new beginning. Then things started to feel different. I felt so isolated, in this small town where there was barely anything to do or anyone to see. My depression and anxiety trickled back worse than it ever was and I knew that I wasn't going to be able to finish out the year. I felt like a failure to my family and myself. I felt like I wasted all the money that they spent helping me prepare for college, but once I finally talked to them and explained my situation, they were SO supportive. Now I'm back home with my family and I don't regret my decision for one second. Our mental health is the most important thing in the world. Take care of yourselves, y'all. And if you feel like you need help, don't forget to reach out💛

Like in my new school, I had to sit quiet because I didn't know anyone.. then I started getting really good friends who helped me, like going to the schools canteen it was a hard time for me, because I hate talking to people so I always go out with my friends.

      Armany logicz I have ptsd from years of bullying and as part of my ptsd I have developed voices in my head that tell me that I’m not good enough and I should just die, people say to just ignore them but nobody knows how hard it is to ignore them, the voices I’d say is one of the main reasons why I was driven to s**cide cos they remind me everyday that I’m worthless, a burden and not good enough and unfortunately I believe what they say and idk how to not believe them. It’s mainly the pain of everything that goes on everyday in my life that makes me feel so s**cidal and since writing that comment 2 months ago I’ve attempted another 2 times.

    This happened to me in summer camp. At first, I was excited because I heard how fun it was but then when I started doing it, I wasn't feeling too happy about it. I was anxious about living with new people, I was homesick and I wanted to go home but I didn't tell my mom because she spent all this money on it and I felt like it would be a waste of her money to leave. After like a few days, I had a meltdown and my mom ended up taking me home. I felt bad for myself that I couldn't handle it but in the end, I know that summer camp just wasn't for me and I'm happy that I didn't continue staying where I wasn't happy and sane.

      @@rockyjojo1233 Before you coldly brush this off, I want to say that the way you're handling this situation is very insensitive and immature.
      You cannot go around and laugh at people who have mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. It's not a funny thing, it's something that's very REAL and a struggle for a lot of people. I may not always handle my anxiety the best way, I admit, that tantrum I threw was immature of me. But the truth is, I have social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder. And I want to do what is best and healthy for my mental health. If I stayed at summer camp, my mental health would just get even worse. Not everyone is going to like college or summer camps. Especially those with social anxiety or a tenancy to get homesick. A lot of people get homesick and shy and there's nothing wrong with it. It doesn't make them a bad person, it's just who they are. I didn't ask to have anxiety, it's something that I just happened to be born with. I can't cure it but I can help it by going to therapy.
      All I'm saying is you do not have to understand it but you need to show compassion and take stuff like this seriously. You could end up risking someone to take their life if you bully someone who has depression like this for example. Maybe you should try to talk to some people that have things like anxiety or watch movies about anxiety. Maybe you will start having a bit more empathy for people who struggle with these kinds of things.

    I had such a similar experience with one of my schools. Being a military kid was so hard having to move so often - so it was suggested to go to a boarding school. The teachers and faculty were amazing but I just didn't fit in anywhere being in a minority. It was especially hard because I wasn't even an adult yet and was supposed to spend high school at that school. But I just couldn't do it after the majority of the year. So - I had to leave. The education was amazing and certainly at a higher level than what I'd receive back home - and then there was the fact that I had to move again - but for the sake of my mental health and overall happiness, I had to sacrifice it.
    It's so nice to know I wasn't the only one that experienced something similar to this - it truly felt that I was alone in this experience.

But I've been trying to get over it and going over to more of my friend's houses and hanging out. I try to not think about it and it helps, and I know that it doesn't help at all to some but just take a moment to yourself, you can maybe call your family if you are feeling some homesickness or text someone that you trust and it will get better.

    I have never heard a story that I can relate so much to. I felt everything that she felt when I went to a boarding school earlier this year. My parents spent more than 15k to pay the fees and they were so excited since the school I was going to was an elite school in my country. I didn’t wanna go to the school in the first place but since my parents were so excited that I got accepted to one of the best schools in the country, they thought I deserved the best. On the first day at that school, I felt something I’ve never felt before. I felt so scared, so afraid, I wanted to die. I felt like I was never gonna leave that place. I developed abnormal depression, anxiety, and stress. And the worst was panic attacks. My dad is a doctor and my mom is a nurse. They tried helping me but everyday it got worse. I cried while walking, eating, I couldn’t focus in class at all cause I was so scared. I really felt like I had no hope to leave. I thought of killing myself so that I’ll leave that place. I had plenty of fights with my parents because they always say that I can control it. I tried doing everything to calm myself down. But only one worked. Well, it only helped me to not cry too much. I started writing in a journal since I was 7 and I finished a journal in 2 months at that school. I knew that I could leave that place but I was still scared cause it felt like I was never gonna leave. I almost killed myself. But I didn’t cause I knew I had a chance. And I am now out of that school. I’m still in recovering process cause I still have panic attacks from time to time. Well, this is a long comment 😐. Please don’t take people with mental illnesses lightly. You will never understand how they feel. Thanks for reading my story, heh.

    Too be honest this happened to me too.
    I didn’t do a study abroad program but I’m part of a group/program that goes on a trip (in a different state) during February break every year for 3 nights. This program allows for us to do practice SAT and ACT tests while also meeting new people.
    On the 2-3 hour drive to the house that we were going to stay in I threw up in the car.
    On the first night I had to sleep with my friend on a couch because there was not enough beds for everyone.
    The house we stayed in didn’t have good ventilation and since it was near a huge lake it got extremely cold at night. I was only able to sleep 2-3 hours. So I was sick and sleep deprived.
    Unfortunately, in the morning we had a whole day of activities planned and even though I didn’t want to I still participated. My stomach is also pretty sensitive so I sometimes threw up the food that was served.
    I’m the type of person that doesn’t like to inconvenience others so I only told them about the problems when it was really necessary. Everyone said that I should speak up more but some how that just made it harder for me 😔
    I felt so uncomfortable 😣 there. I became very homesick and sick. So I told my parents to come pick me up as soon as they could.
    I really wanted to have a good time but it’s so hard to when so many bad things have been happening.
    I’m glad to know that I’m not alone.
    For anyone who went through something similar please understand that your mental and physical health is way more important than any opportunity you may get! Don’t sacrifice your happiness and well being!

    This is the most beautiful video i have ever seen. I kinda had the same situation in high school. I wanted to go to a school that i know that brings me joy and education at the same time and most importantly i was with my friends in there, but my family wanted me to go to the best school in our city, like all the best students do. You know, nerds all around and there is a high academical pressure on you, also my own school was too small when you compare to this school. So you know its the best. But i didnt know so many people in there, and i was having trouble with even talking to people and how to behave around others, but i said ok, im going to try to do what you want me to do. Cause love my mum so much you know i would do anything for her happiness and to make her proud . So i went to this school and i don’t know why, everyone seem to look at me like im their enemy. But you know this was their personality, the school’s personality. They had to be so competitive and successful. And like this girl, i felt lonely, sad and lost. If i would go back my mum will be so upset about it and everyone would see me as a failure. But for my self, not to anyone else, i thought It was the same education actually with my own school. Really? I was doing my best before and i am now but with so many struggles now. So i said, why am i doing this? Cause you know, i think that schools arent and cant be good or the best, but students are and can be. So i just left, like i bird. I felt so happy when i saw my friends and teachers when i go back.My mum didn’t talk to me for like a week. And i felt really bad, a bit like a failure. But it did pass. And seriously after that i spent the best half year of my entire education life. So i am okay with this now. Cause i did it for myself.

    Definitely rhe right choice. Personally, I’m happy that as a fellow first year study abroad student I love it here and I feel just as much at home despite the different language and culture, but it’s different for everyone and you should never push yourself to do something you don’t feel good about doing because you want to appear more “successful”

    Separation anxiety. I get it too sometimes when I take a trip with my parents. I always have a feeling that I left something at home, that something's bad is going to happen, and so on, but as time goes on, the anxiety goes away at its own pace though never 100%. It's just something we all have to live with.

    I was in a similar situation. My parents have been planning for me to study in Germany for years and I was planning on going to Russia (my Grandma is Russian, so I am bilingual). I was super excited about that but going through the last year of high school I had several panic attacks and suffered from eating disorders for almost 2 yeats and depression.I like to travel, I love to explore, but living alone in another country was to much for me. My final decision was to stay at home (I'm from Serbia btw) and to get my bachelor degree here. Sometimes I feel like a failure cuz I was a great student, but I lnow that one day (probably in a year or two) I woll be ready to leave ny country and do all of that on my own. Olso, I HATE cald and rainy weather, I am literally depressed duribg every single winter, so Germany od Russia were not even a choice for me 😂

    I got these kind of feeling during primary school. It was because of the ''No friend'' environment. Sometimes it was in the morning where I'll be at the school bathroom crying. Or maybe while waiting for basketball practice ( I gave up after that.). But thank goodness, I met my saver, books.

    I'm glad that she put her mental health first. I've felt conflicted before between doing and achieving and prioritizing my health. I also worry a lot of the times of what people think of me, of letting people down and not rising to what I think others' expectations are. I've felt like I'm not really approved to put my mental health first, to just focus on work and education. I think it's hard to make decisions similar to hers, but I appreciate that she did it and opened up about it. It provides comfort and points out that it's okay to take care for and put ourselves and our health first (whether or not others around us may think otherwise).

    Good Storybooth story. My little sister just travel with her friends including her high school students around the world with Educational Tours. Besides, my little sister does not have peer pressure or have mental health. The fact that when mental health starts, just stay home and finished the things you do first.
