I really don’t like posting like this but please bear with me

I’m in term 2 of uni and I realised recently that I’m not doing as okay as I thought.

My first term was rough and I still haven’t made any friends. There are weeks that go by without I barely even utter a single word

Last week i tried volunteering because I thought it would help me meet people. Everyone there seemed to already know each other and I felt completely out of place. Someone asked if I was okay because I looked sad (which I genuinely appreciated), but hearing that from someone else made me realise how miserable i look

I ended up leaving early and cried afterwards.

I’m not really posting for advice on “join clubs” or “volunteer more” because I’ve tried things like that already. I think I just want to know if anyone else has gone through this and whether things actually got better. I genuinely can’t start my assignments and can’t concentrate on my studies, i’m trying mental health support but they’re sure taking their time
