Hi, my name is Sam and welcome to Radio Headspace and your Thursday morning.
So for graduate school, I went to Columbia, New York City,
and it was my first time being far away from family and my long-term boyfriend that I had at the time.
I was feeling completely alone and I was really stressed and anxious.
I was feeling overwhelmed by the crowds of people,
the towering skyscrapers that were above me, and just the general busyness of New York City.
And the more anxious that I felt,
the more I started to notice things about the city that I really didn't like,
like the speed of life, the cold nature of my interactions with people,
and this increasing feeling of loneliness.
And my attention really became selectively focused on all of these distressing elements.
That was all that I was seeing around me.
