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?

    America is a giant country. what part of the US are you living in? Adjusting from a life in Rome to a life in NYC is a whole different thing than moving to Milwaukee

        Moving is very stressful… Changing countries is stressful… I would give it some time. Personally, I think the USA is awesome. People are friendly and it’s huge.

      This! I’m from NYC and Iive in Venice and I hate it! Yes it’s beautiful but nothing to do. I’m always bored. I would say try to hang in there until you can get into your own space.
