Just visited my home country (EU) and I am now returning to my expat country (US) and a wave of depression hit me.
I never considered myself to be very attached to my family or my country but after three years and now finally coming back to visit, last night I was extremely depressed. I created an overall good life for myself in the US and I don’t think I would ever see myself coming back to the EU to live permanently, but now I am at the airport leaving and I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sadness.
I’m wondering what experiences other people had in regards to this. Does it get easier? And is leaving after visiting always this sad?
Yeah I had this and it’s because my family didn’t give me that warm fuzzy feeling, and my friends had moved on with their lives. It didn’t get easier for me, I should’ve further separated myself from my home country 🤦🏻♀️ Hope it gets easier for you.
