so in 2017 i was at very bad mental state but my uni had a contract with another one in france as an exchange program
as i wasnt that horrible academically and my language skills were good enough profs and family recommended me to apply anyway

plus i wanted to go somewhere abroad at least once in a lifetime not only like a tourist but to live
so i applied and as there were 3 places and 3 candidates all of us were accepted obv
it was a hassle cause everything was decided in 3 days

so my groupmates had a different dorm booked near the uni and i lived in a completely different district 20 minutes away by bus
i was completely alone in the dorm in the district of the city i didnt know
im okay with living alone thats what i wanted tbh but it was challenging

my language was very very messy due to shitty mental state and being in a completely unfamiliar situation
i was so anxious
there was a chance for me to change the dorm so i barely unpacked anything thinking that i'll probably move out in a day or two

i ate mostly premade food from stores cause i didnt want to unpack a lot of stuff in case i move out
i slept without a pillow and blanket covering with coat because 1. what if i move out in a day or two theres no point 2. i was too anxious to ask the dorm manager for them

though my skills for both english and french are at b2 level it was a _mess_ even in russian or ukrainian
i mixed up languages the structure of phrases was messed up and all these things

well at least there was some freedom for me to act the way i wanted without worrying abt groupmates
and the district was so nice i loved it a lot
so i finally unpacked completely after a week

i started to go to meetings at the local lgbt+ center
they were very welcoming though i was extremely awkward and stressed and barely talked to anyone even if i wanted to a lot
turned out there was a russian speaking person
we became friends and i miss them a lot

this time was also the beginning of the therapy for me as i realized i cant get out on my own
i started to communicate with people more to go out to go to therapy but i still was very fucked up
i barely could study
it was very hard for me to read to write things
