Universities may be closed until 2021 and I am terrified of having to stay home for another 8 months.

As someone who is older than you, I promise you that you can do it and it’s going to get better! My own personal story here, I lived at home until I was 22 due to my parents control combined with not being able to afford to move out. I am now 28, in a very healthy happy marriage and it was worth going through that storm to get where I am now. I can relate to having some very dark miserable years in my life as well when I was around your age and still under my parent’s control. I promise you you’re going to make it through this and life will get better the older and more independent you are. You’re doing the right thing by going to school and working your way towards that freedom. I see you, and I’m so sorry you’re at this point right now and going through this. Try to find little ways to treat and take care of yourself during this time if possible. Hugs to you, friend.
