I gue...Well, that's actually a tricky question. I guess living here has made me realise what I want to be doing. And while in your most current post you talk about having time in our lives to do everything, I want to spend the time doing things I actually dream about! I want to visit countries I've longed to see, go camping in my own country and buy a plot of land near the beach and have all my boyfriends and cousins children come to stay with us. I don't want to travel everyday for 3 hours just to go to a job that pays kind of well but that is a little boring. I mean, the students and other teachers a great, but I can't connect with the students in a way I would like because we don't share a mother tongue.<br />I'm glad to be able to have this experience, but there are so many more I want to have too! And I long for them!Jessicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063022007324470522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212489257639255005.post-1657949313956583842013-07-10T14:13:05.428-04:002013-07-10T14:13:05.428-04:00Oh no, it wasn't pressure at all! Your checkin...Oh no, it wasn't pressure at all! Your checking on things made me so happy, and it gave me a bit of a boost to write down the things I had been thinking about, so thank you!<br />I was really lucky with the doctor/counselor situation as everything is provided through my university, but even though it might be difficult and terrifying at first, I think taking the plunge pays off so much it's worth it. I didn't comment at the time because I wasn't too sure of what I was going through or what was going on with me, but reading your post, and the two posts you linked to actually gave me the feeling I wasn't alone, and that whatever was wrong with me could be dealt with. So thank you so much for your honest post, I'm incredibly grateful for it and the effect it had on me. I do hope you'll get better, and get yourself to a health professional as soon as possible--no problem is too small or too big or too terrifying to be taken care of :) Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821745561347238069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212489257639255005.post-70434586389980600582013-07-10T14:02:48.985-04:002013-07-10T14:02:48.985-04:00Thank you for your kind words and advice Rachel.

I'm glad to hear you've been able to make things better for yourself, hearing other people's ways of dealing with anxiety is really, for lack of a better word, inspiring to me.

Why did you decide to stay only one year?

But I've got to say, that seeking the help and actually getting meds is so admirable. I had major anxiety and I'm scared its now depression, and what I thought would be an simple enough task of just ringing up a doctor/counselor, has turned into a step requiring more courage than I ever thought. I wish I had your bravery, but I'm still in denial phase. Hope all goes well and you can come back to your blog! xx<br />PS- did you see my post on it? had some great links to other inspiring bloggers ;) http://becominglola.blogspot.com/2013/05/depression-is-de-rigueur-when-you-arent.htmlLetitiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01732746550504426512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212489257639255005.post-25006944179253669552013-07-05T01:05:15.869-04:002013-07-05T01:05:15.869-04:00I've also suffered with anxiety in the past fe...I've also suffered with anxiety in the past few years, so I understand where you're coming from, and serious kudos to you for speaking up about it. Glad things are looking better...I've found that a good combination of medication, distraction and taking care of yourself/examining old habits does wonders :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476819246335979010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212489257639255005.post-59848224682644710692013-07-04T20:31:18.091-04:002013-07-04T20:31:18.091-04:00I'm very sorry to hear you've been having ...I'm very sorry to hear you've been having a rough time.

Not to mention, we were supposed to live, here, in Korea, for two years, so the first year could be a bit more spending. Alas, we have decided to stay only one. This big city, consumerist lifestyle just doesn't feel comfortable with me. I have NO time to do the things I love.<br />so rather than shopping I have been saving, and mulling over some general life question...how do i want to live? What lifestyle am I dreaming about if it's not this 9-5, 40 hour, living in the city, buying coffee when I'm bored one? What country might I prefer to live in? stuff like that. It's been interesting! <br />Anyway, I also took a long break from the blog but have returned. From pure laziness. And that's that.Jessicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063022007324470522noreply@blogger.com
