Yup - and a SAD lamo and a therapist.
It would absolutely be London. I don’t know if it would ever happen economically but saying where I am is going to destroy me
Exactly - I’m not just an expat I’m a nomad with no sense of home. I am contemplating returning to my home country but I’m so burnt out from the stress of my life the past couple of years it feels overwhelming
I think this is key - I don’t feel like I belong in my ‘new’ current country, but home feels alien to me as well. I literally have no idea where to go, but can’t afford where I am and feel a change is going to happen. I just don’t know where.
It is normal to regret it. I regret moving to my new country. I suggest seeing a therapist to talk this over before you move and see if you can spend time seeing the parts of your new country thst interest you. The part I have found challenging is that I do feel like a failure for trying to make the new life work but have to come to terms with that
