I'm currently on a year abroad as part of my degree, and since being here I've been really really depressed. I'm really struggling with the language - I can write and read just fine, but when it comes to understanding and speaking I just can't do it at all. I've been here for 6 months and I don't feel like I've improved at all. And I keep seeing other people on Facebook who are on their year abroad saying how much they love it and are having an amazing time, and that just makes me feel worse. I just feel awful, like I can't do anything and I'm useless and worthless. Travelling was supposed to be my dream, but now that I'm actually here, I just feel so depressed all the time and not enjoying it at all. But at the end when I go home I know I'll feel like I've wasted my time here, but right now I don't know what to do. I'm too depressed to do anything.
