As the title, I relocated to Switzerland 10 months ago.
In the beginning I had the usual normal anxieties of moving away from home for the first time. However as time went by, adapting to living in Switzerland became harder for me.
I feel a bit defeated because Switzerland is a beautiful place and there are so many good things I love about it, but I just cannot seem to be happy 😔 winter is now here and I feel a bit worse.
I am thinking of moving back to my home country. The thought of being back around my family, the things I love to do, my old friends is making me want to go back more and more. I had an easy life but my salary was not the best hence why I wanted to move.
Is it normal to regret? I am very disappointed in myself for feeling like giving up and going back. But I have been quite depressed for the last 7 months.
When I said the words out loud that I want to go back home I felt a huge sense of relief…however I am still hesitant to lose the opportunity to live here.
I am welcoming any advice you can share. Thank you everyone.
This post is so relatable. I know i will not stay in my country , italy, for many more years; i really want to live in paris or at least france again.
While i dont regret it, ive been here for two years now and settled enough for it to be not feasible for me right now, especially since the cost of living is half what it could be in paris. I have friends, a beatufiul flat, a lovely partner (who im trying to get to move to paris too, but its not easy ahaha), but i know its going to be only a couple more years here until i cant live here anymore
luckily i am close enough to travel there to get the best of my city and the best of france.
also op, vitamin d and mg multivitamins are so important in the winter, especially if you are a woman. that could greatly help you feel much better during the winter.
