Psychological issues with International students.

Psychological issues with International students.

Many kids experience pressure to perform well academically, and the worry of failing or disappointing family members can contribute to high levels of stress and poor mental health. In Nepal, where I am originally from, mental health is disregarded, no one talks about it, and nobody cares. However, since moving here, I've come to understand that talking about mental health is crucial, especially for overseas students. 

I want to share my experience as an international student after moving to the UK to pursue my studies. When you go to a new nation and are absolutely ignorant about the people, culture, way of life, and other aspects of the country, your first day there can be both joyous and surreal because you've made it thus far. However, the true struggle has just begun, and after thinking about what to do next, you start to overthink things and become panicked. My mind was racing with a ton of questions, including the following:

• How am I going to make it without my family?

• How will everything fall into place now that I'm here by myself?

• Will it be easy for me to acquire a job, or will it be much harder?

• Can I manage things on my own? Do I have adequate strength?

Before I arrived in the UK, all of these things were stuck. I've had a lot of challenges during the past approximately six months. I feel like I'm in a more secure position now and have somewhat calmed down. Since I'm not the type of person who enjoys interacting with others, it was quiet when I reached out to them and asked for assistance. I'm a really introverted person that can only discuss serious stuff with other individuals. It was difficult, but I'm glad I did it since it made me feel more safe and independent than I was before moving to the UK.
