I think that a majority of ppl who emmigrate go thru these depressive moods,, which in turn affects the whole family (how can it not),,its all part of the settling in process,if you allow it to be! its a learning curve,,your out of your comfort zone away from everything familiar, how can this NOT affect your state of mind!

I too envy those who never go thru these depressive moods when they move,, just goes to show were all so different,,and there are no right or wrong ways to settle in a new place,,the only way is thru time,, the longer you are there the more familiar it will become and your routine soon comes with that! the hardest bit is having no history were you are,,you cant walk down a certain street & say `I had a aunt who lived there` or `theres my old school` etc (do ya get me) so of course there are no roots until you lay them,which again takes time,, for our kids it can happen! they can develop good strong roots over time.

I really hope you get some help and try to make it work,, as like me you WILL regret going bk the UK

Good luck in whatever you decide mate\
