Have you ever felt homesick?

Question

I'm in a america for like a year an i feel extremely homesick to england !!! I'm so homesick that sometimes i just take hours telling my american friends about england an then i cry after feeling homesick tell me when you've been homesick.

Answer 1

yes. but i got used to it. i moved to another city and it took a long time. i missed all my friends. i talked so much about my old school that this girl (who thanfully never was my friend) was like "would you stop talking about your school?!" then this other girl defended me thankfully. Are you here for a visit or living?

I think you will eventually get over it. Probably longer than how i took since i only changed cities not countres. it took me about 1 year, i think about that much. i complained almost everyday to my folks to let me go back to my old school (it was private so it was ok for me to go there from living in a different city) but they said no.

good luck i know you can do it!

Answer 2

I took a mountain course with some classmates so we were in the middle of the rockies doing all sort of horribly amazing like hiking mountains, rock climbing, waking up before sunrise and*gasp* not taking showers but the hardest part was being away from home. We werent allowed to call home or write-we had no communication with the outside world. I missed my family, my bed, my music, my computer,everything. But I knew what I was doing was once in a lifetime and I would be home soon enough. when I did get home I appreciated every little thing but then I got bored and actully wanted to be back freezing my a** off on the side of the mountain. The most important thing i learned was if I could survive that experience I could survive anything and I try to take adventage of everythine , even if i doesnt seem like the greatest thing, you only live once so dont waste a minute. Good Luck and have fun

Answer 3

Yes, I have.
Although the reverse-- I was in the UK and I was homesick for the US.
Is there an English style pub you can go to where you are? I remember that finding a dance club with alot of Americans really made me feel better.
It really made me think of my ancestors who came the the New World in the 1700's from England-- they had no way to really go back and visit, it was essentially a one way trip.
I'll be thinking about you!
