Online Counseling for College Students in Connecticut
Are you feeling overwhelmed at college?
College can be an exciting and positive experience, but many students don’t feel they’re well prepared for such a significant step. Once at college, they understandably feel overwhelmed, due to the social and academic pressures, as well as the challenges of living independently and navigating life with a much smaller–or sometimes distant–support system.
Getting that acceptance letter was the best thing ever.
You thought that, once you were in college, it was going to be much easier. You weren’t going to have overly attentive parents or teachers watching your every move. You were going to finally feel the independence and freedom that comes with being a young adult.
College is harder than you thought it would be.
Responsibilities are mounting, people’s expectations of you are increasing, your classes are tough, and connecting with people in a real way is tougher. This is not at all what you envisioned about the college experience. This is not at all what you wanted for yourself.
You didn’t anticipate the demands of the labor-intensive assignments. You didn’t realize how much time would be required to get good grades, and you didn’t realize how it’d feel for things to not come as easily as they did in high school. Isn’t this supposed to be the best time in life?
The anxiety in college is real!
As the pressure builds, your anxiety kicks in and the hamster wheel runs in your head, keeping you awake at night and playing out worst-case scenarios–failure, loneliness, isolation, embarrassment. The anxiety and feelings of stress and overwhelm are now foremost in your mind and are destroying the self-esteem, happiness, and confidence you had when you first received that acceptance letter.
