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.
I used to live n the UK and during the pandemic was abroad so I could not easily return (unless I would do the 10 days quarantine etc). Instead I went to my homecountry to stay with my parents. When I returned after the borders had reopened, something had changed. Brexit started to grip around and the overall ambience was very negative. So I moved back to my homecountry (in the EU) and thereby forfeited my presettled status. But I am more happy now. Sure, you can make good money in the UK, but the quality of life is worse so for the same quality of life, I have to spend more (housing being the worst thing).
