It doesn't really matter....... does it ?
You see the thing is this........... YOU have changed, more than the changes that have been made to your "home" country, whether it was the UK, Brazil,France or China............. every last one of us has "rose tinted reminiscing glasses"
Life moves on - with you, or without you, things alter and will never be the same
Seize the day and live for the moment

I remember when I moved to Korea and everybody was talking about the three month blues. For some reason it hit people worse when they were in Korea than when they were anywhere else.
Nobody quite believed it would happen until it hit them.
For just about everybody they come out the other side of it much happier - and with more realistic expectations of their new home.
Give yourself a bit longer to adjust, and try to remember most people go through a stage like this before they settle in.

Hey, i've only been here since Oct 08 and mm..Australia, i'm still undecided, still homesick although going to stick it out for 2 years. I want to get on the property market first before returning to the uk (if i do). Ask me now and i will tell you that i most DEFINATELY will be going back, but it is early days.
I try to keep myself busy (either that or i will go mad here )
You are not alone, i've spoken to loads of other expats on other forums and this is all too common.
I still wake up in the morning wondering what the f i am doing here

Hi thankyou to you all for your responses, and thankyou to scottishcelts for your reply, i glad iam not the only one that feels like this. I just has another moment and still am in that moment, as i have just had an email from my sister and it had made me think oh shit. I ended up sending her such a long email just because i didnt want the conversation to end do know what i mean or does that stupid, i wasnt even really talking to her. I know this sounds even more insane but i have already done loads of jobs this morning and now iam done i feel like girl at the bloody window, its pissing with rain so i dont really feel like going out again till school run time, i just wish that there was someone during the day that i could just pick up the phone to !! pathetic isnt it.

I suffered very bad with homesickness,we sold up and went back after 2 years here ,cost us thousands and it was a big mistake we came back after 18 months.

You must have spent an absolute fortune moving back and forwards! I worry about this and worry about being undecided about where i want to settle, i can really see myself wanting to dart back and forth, torn between both countries, my heart is telling me that Scotland is where i belong! I can't win i think i'll always be torn.
