I would like to hear your experiences with your health and mental welfare from your transitions to the EU from America (but any country works). I’ve just been trying to understand other peoples perspective with chronic illnes, has your health been better or worse? Do specialist, GPS, and the occasional random ER trip been good or bad? America can be tough since Healthcare isn’t cheap here.

    I’d advise against going to an EU country, as being in another place basically needs all the resources you can summon to become successful. Being out of your comfort zone, and familiarity of the US is easier, as you will have to accommodate their cultural and language with little flexibility. To add to this, psychologists, especially English speaking ones are difficult to come by and may or may not be under what constitutes medical protection. I know health is expensive in America, but uprooting yourself to a new area takes a lot of effort, and leads to a lot of stress. Going to the ER with people reluctantly speaking English about your well-being I would think would add to your stress, rather than remove it.

    Either way, the usual of learn another language, learn marketable skills, and hope for a transfer with your American company. Make it a long-term goal.

    Good luck!
