I don’t know is this normal?
ok i am 18, and i should be having the time of my life.. living it up with friends, goin to college, having fun.. but i gave that up to move to canada and get myself a career… i have no friends and the ones i have in the UK i miss, my family i miss.. but i cant exactly leave everything i have tried to build here… its rather depressing… so what i am getting at is: is it normal to feel depressed when your so far away from what you know??
It is absolutely normal for an 18 year old girl to be depressed if she left everything she is accustomed to and went to a new country. Seven days after I graduated high school, my family moved 1200 miles from where I was raised, and I entered this new community without a friend in the world. I had no choice but to go with them, or I would have had no where to live and no income. I was totally depressed and told them as soon as I could get the money I was going back “home”. Well, I got a good job, made new friends, a year later met a great guy, and married him. Needless to say I never went “home”. That was many years ago (over 30) and I am still in the new town, married to the great guy and have long since gotten over the old depression.
Give this new place a chance and I am sure you will build a new life that will be just as great as the old one and you can always go visit “home”.
best wishes..
