Hey guys. I’m 25F. I was raised in the Middle East, Dubai/Bahrain and have had a fabulous life there. I moved to italy a couple of years ago and loved it way more than I liked the Middle East. It started to feel like home there. I’m a national of a horrible weak country so I don’t have the option to just pack my bags up and move.

My husband is American so I moved to America about 4 days ago but am finding it extremely hard to adjust. I’ve travelled here before but have not loved it as much so moving here permanently has been extremely challenging. I keep crying everyday no matter what I do, I’m struggling to adapt and fit in.

Any advice to overcome this?

    Remember that life is long and that there are so many adventures to be had. It’s okay to be sad about leaving Italy, but there are plenty of fun and interesting things to do in the US. Give it a chance.

      that’s the plan for now! My husband is extremely supportive and sees through everything. He’s trying his best to make me adapt to it but I think I’m just stuck in the past. I find it very hard to adapt to change and that’s something that’s wrecking me completely and affecting me more than I thought it would
