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?
I come from a country where a lot of younger people immigrate abroad and most of my friends and family have always said that it takes around 2 years to really get used to a place and for the sadness to pass. Maybe find a local group of new immigrants to talk to? Or sign up for some classes so that you can interact with others and adjust? Take your time, you just got to the US be kind to yourself and give yourself time to adjust.
