Problem: What would be a good response as a therapist to this? Using CBT. Need Assignment Help?
Hi... thanks for meeting with me. I'm a freshman, and lately I've just been feeling really down. I moved here from out of state, and I thought college would be exciting, but honestly, I feel kind of lonely all the time.
I miss my family a lot, especially my mom and younger sister. Back home, I always had people around me, and here it just feels... quiet. I go to class and come back to my dorm, but I haven't really made close friends yet.
I see other people hanging out and adjusting so easily, and it makes me feel like maybe something is wrong with me. Some days I don't even feel like leaving my room unless I have to.
I'm not really sure what to do anymore.
