I Don't Like To Burden People With My Problems

I usually keep my troubles to myself, because I don't want my friends or my parents to worry. In primary school, I was bullied by some classmates, but I didn't tell my mom for a long time until my best friend convinced me to do it. It turns out that was the right choice, but I still don't like burdening anyone with my problems, it's either do it myself or don't.

That was back when it was just mom and me. She had enough to worry about.. so I didn't even think of brining her into the mess.

Lately, I've been kind of stressed out over my future. I have some anxiety over college and leaving my parents, it makes me somewhat depressed. Am I just going to go off to college and never see them again? I also feel bad they'll be paying for my college tuition, it's so much money. What if something goes wrong? And I drop out? All their hopes, wishes, and dreams. All that my will be wasted on me...

There are some people who would feel that you would not be a burden to listen to. Talking about thing does help.

Also, you're going to college, you will see your parents again. I assume you will go back home for various holidays after all. Try not to worry so much about what will happen if you drop out. Instead focus on doing your best.

Why do you feel sad about leaving parents to go to college? You do know that the semesters only last 4 months right? If you aren't going very far, come home on the weekends.

@iamnikki I just have some separation anxiety issues. It completely slipped my mind I could come back home on weekends and holidays. Sorry for such a dumb story post.
