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?
It’s definitely a tough! The convenience of the Middle East and the ease of Europe is just unbeatable to me and I think my biggest problem is that I compare a lot. I definitely want to give it a year though because when I first moved to Europe (I lived there for 3 years), it was so hard the first couple of months but what made it easy was that I was able to talk to my family back home very easily, play games with my brothers or just simply talk to people I worked with.
Right now, by the time I’m up, everyone’s gone and it kinda sucks haha. I’m in Pittsburgh right now!
