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.
Health and mental health is priority 1, money cant fix that.
There is no normal or not-normal or paranormal, different people like different living situations and have different living preferences…
If main the problem is that you miss your friends or family, there is no magical way to have them all here.
If the main problem is that you have not found enough interests/hobbies/ways to enjoy Switzerland yet then sure, i would wait a bit more before moving back, would e.g. learn skiing/snowboarding in the winter, give it some more time to make new friends, travel more in Switzerland etc.
