1. Talk to someone. If you haven't yet made friends here, then try a chaplain, or counsellor.
2. Keep in good contact with the people you have left behind; arrange a time to go back to see them, perhaps after a few weeks. Don't let looking back actually hinder moving forward.
3. Encourage friends and family to come and see you in your new setting.
4. Remember that many other people will be sharing similar feelings, although you may assume that they are doing fine! (You can't read their minds - just as they can't read yours!)
5. You are allowed to feel sad and homesick! You are also allowed to enjoy yourself - it isn't being disloyal to those you miss!
6. Establish a balance between work and leisure: you are NOT expected to work ALL the time - you would soon burn out. On the other hand, if you don't put in enough time on work, you can very quickly get behind, which only adds to the stresses!
7. If work is proving too difficult, can you improve your organisation of time and work so that you gain satisfaction from what you do?
8. Remember to get enough food and sleep! These affect us emotionally as well as physically.
9. Make contacts and friends through shared activities such as sport or other interests. There are so many clubs and societies the city, that you are very likely to find something that suits your particular interests.
10. Give yourself time to adjust: you don't have to get everything right straight away. Nor do you have to rush into making major decisions.
11. Most people come through times of homesickness and go on to do well .
12. If you stop being able to do normal social and academic things, seek professional help either from your doctor or the counselling service. Don't wait until the problems have grown impossibly large!

truly making acquaintances with foreigners may help. I also had to tutor that cooking your own nutrition commonly is going exceptionally underrated. I felt the very similar way you felt when I first moved right here and it wasn't till I regained administration of my nutrition and all started cooking for myself that i became waiting to administration and concentrate on what i became doing out right here. i understand how puzzling if should be so that you could attempt this as you do not pick to offend your host mom, yet perchance you should represent they allow you to're making a meal for them a minimum of once a week, lunch, dinner, some thing! locate an import save and purchase issues that you used to devour before you moved right here. This sounds extreme priced yet in case you save round you could keep a low funds. also, once you've any existence style or survival questions or are purely bored be at liberty to drop an e mail... desire you could parent issues out, its quite no longer that distinct from living everywhere else once you get settled in!

You need to get involved with things where you are. When you feel homesick, do something that takes your mind off it--read a book, bake cookies, stuff like that. I always made new friends, and would try to find them when I was homesick. If they weren't available, I would write a letter to the people I missed, and then find something productive to do like clean my room or do my laundry.

keep pictures with you. and LET yourself be free. Make new friends etc. THERE is so much more out there to be occupied with.
I went away to college and so did my other friends and 2 older sisters. It's common. ONE common technique?
Get a new hobbie, craft *hike*swim classes
doing new activities/hobbies will put you in an environment to keep busy and make new friends and support groups.
I hope this helps. I have more ideas if you'd like. just email me.

Go where they are then.. all youll do. is keep getting sad and you want to be happy.., and your happy around them.. dont make yourself go through sadness..., Make her self happy and feeling more alive of where you are. dont feel home sick.> go home and be with them.
phonecalls- still depressive, cause you want to be around them.
pictures.- very depressive you remember memories and you want to create new ones.
Nothing in the world will help you., the only thing that helps and takes all that way is to be around them.
