Was Cheltenham 'home', as in where you'd gone to school and stuff.
I kinda know what you're talking about. I used to live near Peterborough but moved to Liverpool 3 years ago to go to uni. I know that I would have gone nuts if I'd stayed where I was, but I really missed my friends, and I'd used to play in a rock band with some of them and had to give that up to come to uni.
Its always a hard step to make. Were you joking about the therapy. In all seriousness, I went for both counselling and therapy in the last few years and it did help. If you think it will help, its worth doing. I spent ages refusing to go ask for help because I didn't feal that my problems were a big deal and cos I knew my parents would be pissed if they found out. But it has helped.
I'd say when you go to uni, see if there's any martial arts clubs there. I'm a member of the Tae Kwan Do club at Liverpool Uni and its great fun. I went to the uni championships last year and got seven shades of shit kicked out of me but it was great fun ^_^ Also, I don't know much about other uni clubs but there's a real sense of community at U of L Tae Kwan Do. Its a lot of fun.
Sorry if I sound like I'm being a bit patronising, I just thought I'd let you know that I know how shitty it feels to know leaving somewhere was the best thing to do but really miss stuff that you left behind. I probably don't say it very well
