As the title, I relocated to Switzerland 10 months ago.

In the beginning I had the usual normal anxieties of moving away from home for the first time. However as time went by, adapting to living in Switzerland became harder for me.

I feel a bit defeated because Switzerland is a beautiful place and there are so many good things I love about it, but I just cannot seem to be happy 😔 winter is now here and I feel a bit worse.

I am thinking of moving back to my home country. The thought of being back around my family, the things I love to do, my old friends is making me want to go back more and more. I had an easy life but my salary was not the best hence why I wanted to move.

Is it normal to regret? I am very disappointed in myself for feeling like giving up and going back. But I have been quite depressed for the last 7 months.

When I said the words out loud that I want to go back home I felt a huge sense of relief…however I am still hesitant to lose the opportunity to live here.

I am welcoming any advice you can share. Thank you everyone.

    Currently undergoing the same situation. I can barely resist the urge to go back home tbh (although for me it’s only been 3 months). I promised myself I would resist for at least 6 months and if I don’t feel better I will go back to my family. So my suggestion would be to give yourself more time to decide, you can’t rush these choices.
