away from the area also. I am happy where I live now. After I moved in January, I went back home for the first time in May. I was happy to see my friends (these are all girls I've been friends with for about 30 years), but that was all I was happy to see. I lived in a big city on the east coast and now I live in a little farm town (population 350). Huge difference. When I went home, I hated it. I couldn't stand the noise, the smell, the rudeness, traffic, etc. I felt like I had a 24-hour panic attack, I wanted to go back, to what I now call home, so bad. Now, my girlfriends are asking me when am I coming "home" to visit. I'm scared to death to go back because of how I felt last time. I'm not ready to go back for another visit yet. What do I tell them? I fear they won't understand because they've never moved away or had family members move from home. What do I tell them or how do I help them to understand what's in my head, without them thinking it's them?
