Me again...
Hi..
Okay I'm having one of those " I wanna go home days"
Feel low, sad, and very lonely :-(
I have no friends here which is very depressing, can't even go out for girls night out as I have no one to go with..
Really hating it at the moment.. yep again the same questions going around in my head "was the move a mistake"????????
Can't seem to get the answer to this..
Need some serious cheering up....
Sorry another gloomy email from me..

Re: Me again...
You sound just like me. I have been here 3 months and the way I am feeling I think it was the biggest mistake I have ever made.

Re: Me again...
Maybe it's just me, and I'm sorry if I come across as rude here, but it really gets on my tits when people come on here moaning about how they dont like it.... but then dont do a damn thing about it.
Oh really? Which people? The staff, the customers? Everyone? C'mon, do me a favour.
Stop dwelling in self pity and get out and do something. Sounds like you've moved all the way over here and then shut yourselves away in your respective houses.
If you dont like it here, move back to the UK.
If you wanna stay, get off your arses and make an effort.
I'm sure there are plenty of singles groups/mums groups (or whatever) for you to join.

It was other shopper that blocked the way with their trolley, I said excuse me please, he looked at me and ignored me. In my book thats rude.

No I havent shut my self in my house, I go out, I have some friends, and chat to the neighbours

What can I say about this paragraph!! motivational? supportive?, or rude just like the shopper in Fortinos today?.
I am a 56 yr old grandmother, who has left all of her family in the UK, and sometimes just sometimes it hurts like crazy.

Re: Me again...
I know how the OP feel. I have been here 9 weeks and we have had quite a few upsets.
I have not made friends except 3 lovely people thru BE.
BUT........... I know it will happen. I have looked at clubs and meets etc. but I think its quite daunting.
If you can then do make the effort even if it doesnt really interest you. Thats what I'm gonna do. I dont know anything about amateur dramatics but as soon as one here starts up again, I am going to join.
What have I got to lose??

Re: Me again...
If all you look for are the faults, and fail to see any of the positives, then you're bound to be unhappy here.

Re: Me again...
I agreed and said I felt the same way.
We are not complaining, just saying how we feel at the moment,I and I am sure the OP is doing as much as I can, to fit in here and adjust, but sometimes, when you have some ass in the supermarket give you attitude, or you cant find your favorite shampoo, it get's you big time. Silly I know but thats the way it is when you are feeling a bit down.
We are not looking for faults or failing to see the positive, what we are expressing is a state of mind, probaley called home sickness,something I assume every one gets from time to time.

Re: Me again...
To be honest if Dante Alighieri had seen Missisauga he would have written about the 8 circles of hell.
It's boring, drab, dull and lifeless. Unless you have a vibrant family life going on inside one of those tract houses, what is there to do?
If you are immigrating to Canada DON"T GO TO MISSISAUGA - It's like Slough without the culture!

Re: Me again...
One of Judy's excellent wiki articles that Miss Clinque and jinn should read.

Whatever you decide to do in the end, what you are feeling now is perfectly normal. For the vast majority of people it goes away after a while, if not completely then at least to a tolerable level.
