Feeling homesick is an absolutely normal experience. When you’re away from home, life is full of unexpected experiences and hardships. You might be living away from home for the first time, feel anxious about meeting new individuals, or be worrying about finding a line of work.
So here you are. You’ve been looking forward to moving, to new freedom and responsibilities, to new individuals. And all of a sudden you’re feeling sad and nervous. This isn’t how you planned it. Admitting it may be hard when other people seem to be so happy and together, but you’re feeling homesick. How feeble! You’re not alone. A few of the smiling people you see are actually feeling homesick, also.
When you’re in a new place and feeling a little anxious, panic may quickly kick in. How do you stop that rising tide of desperation?
