hello – it's been soooo long

Question:

Welcome back, Les!  Great to have you back with us.  Just take it all slowly and it will all fall into place.  I hope you have a terrific year – what year of school are you in?  Glad to hear you connected with your therapist off the bat that was a wise decision you made. smiles, elise

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi everyone! It seems like so long since I’ve been a part of this ng. I have been so busy and going through a lot emotionally. I just moved into my new dorm (high rise apt) tonight. My roommates aren’t here yet. I’m a little scared being alone. But I have a close friend who will help me through it if necessary. I talked to the GA/program leader of where i’m living tonight. It was weird. i told him that I had ptsd but he had no clue what that was/meant. i tried to explain some of it to him, some of ym concerns and all. it was cool. not too weird. i haven’t gotten a chance to see all my friends yet. My dad’s here til Sunday morn, at the hotel, so I won’t get to til Sunday. But tonight’s my frist night alone here, and I mean alone because my roomates aren’t even here. If they move in tomorrow which I expect they will, I think I’ll try talking to them Sunday night. I hope they are nice and are cool with it. Otherwise, I dunno how I am. It’s just starting night and all. I saw my therapist here today and intro-d my dad to her. we talked a little about stuff. it was cool. she gave me two beeper numbers she’s on call at all weekend, and said it’s okay if i need to call. especially monday. my program has a full day retreat 645 am to 9pm, and I’m a little nervous. okay, i gotta go, more later. i erased all the old messages to start anew. i will respond soon to new messages. tell you more later… les

Thanks for this update. I think you will manage just fine. It’s not so strange to be a little apprehensive about things to come and about being alone for the night, many people experience that without necessarily having an anxiety disorder. It may also be a safe feeling that your father is nearby and that the therapist is on call. Please keep us posted. Philip

Thank you all for your messages. They really made me feel less alone. I got through the night alright. I only felt nervous really that much a little before I went to sleep, lying in my bed. I kept hearing noises that sounded like fireworks. maybe just people moving in, maybe something going on somewhere. I started thinking it was gunshots. But then I fell asleep. My roommates are moving in today. One of them stopped by last night while a couple of friends and me were in the room. I’m sure they’re moving in today. (Today is the official day we’re supposed to move in, i just didn’t want to deal with the rush) Anyway, that means that I will probably talk to them tomorrow night. That’s what the program director guy thought i should do. I really hope they’re okay with stuff. I dunno why, but I got this funny feeling from the girl last night that she might be more like my freshman roommate (we were arch enemies!) and that she might be that drinking type. That is my biggest fear in it, i guess. Or that they will say what that old roommate said – i don’t care about what you told me, that’s your problem, i will do what i want. I hope not. Especially because the two of them are friends, so they might ‘gang up’. Anyway, my dad and I are gonna have our last day together typ e thing today. Then maybe later on I can visit the rest of my friends. I will let you all know how it goes with my roommates. Then my next big issue is that retreat monday. Hopefully that will go okay. Anyway, it’s been really nice here so far. I was hanging out with these two friends last night from when my dad left til 230. OKay, well I’m going on and on. Hehe. Anyway, it really is nice to be ‘back here’ (ASAP). Thanks again for your well wishes and all. les. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi everyone!

Hi Les! Boy, you sure got back online fast!  LOL  I’m so glad you did.  You’ll be fine.  I know you will.  I’m glad you have a therapist right away.  Please let us know how you did last night. Hugs, Di
