Young and 'healthy' but they DIED while studying | International student wellbeing 

I am glad that you found some support through university staff. I so relate to the part about 2 years feeling like 10. Thank goodness it ended well.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. It is quite telling that international students have very similar experiences everywhere and their struggles often go unnoticed. Your work in the international office sounds fulfilling. Thank you for making a difference

As someone who has worked at schools that recruited international students as well as domestic students, your story would resonate with a lot of the students I've taught. Unfortunately, I think it needs to be a larger issue than just bringing in peer support programs and on campus mental health support - Those are going to be only as good as the faculty and the level of care they have for their students, and it needs to go higher than the instructors and professors - the administration need to care and I'm going to be very honest with you - Most of these individuals, even being immigrants themselves which is crazy to me, do not care past getting the tuition from the students. There is so much corruption going on, and I have stories upon stories that I could share about this happening in Canada and maybe one day I will but all I can say is that I am glad that the two of you are a part of those who are lucky to survive, and I wish you all the success in your career and in your life. No one deserves to have some of the hardship that you and others have endured because of a system based on caring about the monetary.

Be encouraged! You will pull through too. I like your approach of slowing down sometimes and just watching movies and speaking to family. Well done!

Yes, time becomes a blur while we have our heads down slugging through unfortunately. Please come up for air sometimes. I hope you finish soon. All the best

You have a great mindset! Goodluck with all your plans and thanks for stopping by.

I hear you! I am glad this video holds relevance for you as an international student. Hopefully it makes you feel less alone in your struggles. You got this! All the best to you.

Thanks for sharing, Chanchal. OMG, 6 years is a long time and yes, stress is not talked about often enough in terms of how it slowly destroys our health. I hope you are near the end and I am glad to hear it's become easier over the years. All the best!

Yes! Thank you!

I hope your last semester goes well. I am glad to hear that you take days off occasionally.

Don't do as I did o 😊😁I cut them off myself, then saw a dermatologist after (should have been the other way around), but the best way I have found to manage it is through my diet and developing healthy habits to try and balance my hormones. They did not grow back and I am not getting new ones so the strategy is working so far.

Oh that's a sad story! Sounds like he was a lovely person😢 I hope you continue to heal❤

You're welcome 😊

I hear you! Maybe just the act of bringing your consciousness to it is a great first step to thinking about what you could re-prioritise. Goodluck!

I cut them off myself, then saw a dermatologist after (talk about doing things backwards haha). I would recommend seeing a dermatologist first though.
