COVID-19 threw off your college plans, huh? Now you’re homebound when you were expecting a fun semester on campus? Or maybe you are on campus but it feels mucho different than what you expected? If so, you are probably experiencing disappointment, loneliness, family stress, and worries about your future. Or, you may just be feeling stress related to being home from college during COVID-19. And you are not alone! Our online college support venting group can help!
The effects of COVID-19 have hit college students particularly hard! Being at home when you thought you’d be on campus is a big disappointment. You’ve probably got all sorts of new concerns about what life will be like now.
Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?
- Will I feel like a high-schooler again living in my parents home?
- I don’t like virtual learning. What if I hate this?
- I’m not great at time management. I may not do well with online learning.
- I’m supposed to zoom 4 classes at a time? No way!
- What if I or someone in my family gets COVID? Will I be able to keep up?
- I don’t want to miss out on cherished traditions and rights of passage.
- What the HECK is dating supposed to look like when I live at home?
- What should I do Saturday night at 10 pm?
- Will I be able to get a job?
- Is the current economy/ unemployment rate is going to make it harder for me after graduation?
- I don’t want to complain to my friends. I know they are struggling too.
- It seems like others are doing okay. But, I really hate this.

If group therapy isn’t right for you, try our other services?
If you are having more severe symptoms like persistent depression and anxiety, inability to sleep, troubling substance use, hopelessness, and despair, then individual therapy may be helpful in addition to OR instead of group.
And if being home is creating family tension and you need a neutral party to mediate the unexpected circumstances, family therapy could be helpful too.
