Hey Bitsandpieces,
I tried to PM you but it wouldn't let me because I just signed up, so I'll post my message here:
I saw your post about how you're in the UK on your own and it's too much to handle. I can definitely relate, I'm studying in Italy, full-time, but I lived in the US for most of my life, and I'm pretty much in the same situation - I can't leave but I can't stay. I also read the part about how when you try to talk to others about it you always act like everything's okay and keep everything inside, that's exactly what I do too. When I'm by myself everything comes out, but when I start talking to people I can't tell them how bad it really is. I guess they wouldn't really understand, and I don't want them to feel bad for me. Anyway I won't ramble anymore, I just wanted to let you know you're definitely not alone, and I'm here if you ever want to talk
Alice
