After trying and failing at college and jobs, for last five years. I made a big decision to go to a place called Woodrow Wilson rehabilitation center; it help people with many and all disability work on careers. I've never been away from home for this long, and today after feeling failed a every test I take, I had a very depressed day. And I feel like I'm just going to fail anyways so why not go home now but I don't wanna feel like I didn't try. I really to do want help with getting a job. But I feel so bad, like I wanna cry, I miss my home.

Does anyone have any good advice to help me not feel so depressed and end up running home. I'm trying here.

Hello, Lilithlee. I admire your gumption. Is there anyone at the rehab center you might talk to to help you feel more comfortable there? I hope you are able to stay and learn. What a big deal that would be for you. Good luck.

Hi Lilithlee, just remember that PC members are behind you.

Don't think about the past, concentrate on being calm. You need to be calm by visualizing a pleasant activity, something you can focus on.

For me, being calm is like meditating being in a quiet place where I won't be disturbed. At PC, I find playing games helps me focus and reduce my anxiety.

I hope you keep trying. Don't be bothered by others talking in between the tests or activities. Ignore those distractions just focus on the tasks on hand.

If you intimidated by others, just pretend them as being nude or doing something everyone has do that makes all equal.

Hi Lilithlee,

Try to remember why you are there in the first place. I am also away from home right now and am supposed to be working on feeling better but it's hard because I feel so lonely away from every body I know. Just remember why you are there and what you are trying to accomplish, and why accomplishing that will make you feel better in the long run. Failing a test does not mean that you are a failure.

When I want to run home I try to remember why I felt I should leave in the first place, and I think about how I would feel if I gave up and went home right now. It would feel temporarily better, sure, but after a few days I would feel like I was back at square one.

Good luck to you

It is good, that you took the risk of self healing at the Center. Depression is the first feeling you will have when you take such Risks. Homesickness is always associated with that fact. Stay dedicated strongly to your healing and Journey you have now began. Best Wishes.

I'm going to get it another week and see how I feel. Cause I can't do eight month of this.

Be strong and dedicated! Be a Strong hearted Warrior for yourself. Stay with the program. The results will not be immediate, but you WILL heal over time.

Sorry for the confusion it not that type of rehabilitation center; it more of a school. I leave in three week if I don't pass all the test, anyhow, and I don't doing that well. But I'm giving it time that way I know I tried and will keep trying.

I took your advice and try to put all my attention on the clam; even bid a relaxation breathing thing. It didn't really help but I'm trying.

Well, you're trying, good.

Just do your best.

[Lilithlee]

After really trying to day, engained in activities ect. And this didnt feel better, I told with my family and planing on talking with my counlser tomorrow, I'm gonna stay the rest of the week. I don't feel proud saying this but I am going home. Too many panic attack, I just can't take it. I feel like I'm letting everyone down, I'm trying but it never enough. I wish I wasn't like this.

[yellowted]

all you can do is try your best, no one including you can/should expect anything more than that x

[optimize990h]

Lilithlee, you did try your best. It is fine because it is your choice.

I say you have the freedom to choose whatever you wish. Just to make I understand-you are going home, your family knows and you're counsellor will know. That phrase about staying a week is inaccurate?

[Lilithlee]

What do you mean by inaccurate?

"I'm gonna stay the rest of the week." That part, does it mean you are going home after a week? Or are you going home sooner than that.

[Lilithlee]

Oh, I'm still finishing up the week. Sorry about that.

[optimize990h]

Ok, thanks. You are finishing week. That's good.

I'm dislextic. I have a hard time understanding the info and then once I do making the test reflect that. For me, it isn't always about knowing the info to pass a test.

[optimize990h]

Yeah, I know, dyslexia, one of my relatives has it. . She is working at this time.

[Lilithlee]

I finally got to talk with my counlser today, I got a month sick leave and to leave and try a different course training. It might take more than a month but she said I can re enroll.

[LovelaceF]

That's great Lilithlee! I don't know where you are, but there are places that offer tutoring for people with dyslexia. You can learn in a non-traditional curriculum that will help you with learning difficulties associated with dyslexia.
