Anyone else exhausted from hiding anxiety all day at school?

I hold it together the whole day — smiling, answering in class, acting normal — and then completely crash the second I get home. It's like a performance and I'm so tired. Just wondering if anyone else does this.

College freshman, homesick and overwhelmed at UNH

Everyone keeps telling me these are the best years of my life and I mostly feel lost and homesick. Classes are fine but I feel behind socially and I don't want to worry my parents. Does it get better or is something wrong with me?
