i just moved to a new city last month-i am getting home sick. What do I do?

Answer 1

See if you can arrange regular visits to your old hometown.
Find things to do in the place you just moved to. Join civic clubs, church groups, get involved with sports teams.
Go to your local Chanber of Commerce and they can tell you there, all about the town you've moved to, what activities they have to offer and what groups are around for you to consider joining.

Good luck on this - I've moved twice and know it's hard! If you try these things, you'll be "okay", I promise!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Answer 2

If it was for work or school, get involved with your peers. You need to feel a sense of connectedness, we all do. It's just human nature. Sounds like what you are feeling is a combination of loneliness and missing the familiar. It will never go away if you lock yourself in the house. Go out and get a local paper. There are a lot of things to do in every area, even small towns. Find a hobby or group that piques your interest. Don't be shy, introduce yourself and you will find a group you are comfortable with. Soon, this will be home. Good luck and have fun meeting your new friends!

Answer 3

I moved to a new city and state three years ago and am still homesick, some days quite a bit, other days hardly at all. You need to give it as much time as you can to adjust. Keep in touch with friends and family from where you were before. Make it a point to have as much fun as you can where you are now, explore it and do every thing you can. Then have the people you miss come and show them what a great place you live in now.

Just hang in there!

Answer 4

1. Ask some of your friends from your old hometown if they know anyone who lives in your new city. If they do then maybe you could meet those friends of your friends, and that way you have a little familiarity there.
2. Also, keep in touch with your family and friends on a daily basis. Tell them what you do like about your new home, describe it, and maybe it will help you feel a little bit like they are there too.
3. Invite your family and friends to come out and visit. But, have them come at different times so you'll always have guests. Send them emails about air fare sales and tell them some of the fun things you'd like to do with them when they come.

Answer 5

I did too!!! The one thing that I have to say that helps is getting out in your new area to explore a bit and meet people. Exercise is also a great way to releive some of the stress of moving and to meet others. I also still keep in touch with all my old friends back at home. Good luck to you!

Answer 6

If your by yourself, go out with friends from work. Just join some clubs or join a church. Get unlimited long distance. When my daughter went off to college 12 years ago my phone bills never fell under $300 per month.

But if you have a boyfriend now is the time to really get to know the true him.

Answer 7

Sign up for a class to learn something you have always wanted to learn. And make yourself a memory wall with pictures of your hometown so you can see it each day.

I have lived in eight different cities in my life and each move was difficult until I could find my way around andmeet some new people. Now I have eight "hometowns" with little clusters of friends and street maps all familiar and dear to me.

Answer 8

i used to get home sick ALL THE TIME
even though some people think it is better to surround yourself with things that remind u of home, i find that makes it so much worse!
i usually just try to occupy myself with other things. a hobby or something. hopefully a hobby that might connect you with other people so you won't be lonely either.
for example, try your hand at knitting (cuz it's addicting and will surely keep you occupied!) and look up a knitting group that you could meet with weekly or something. (i recommend searching for "stitch and b*tch" groups if that's what you are interested in :D)

Answer 9

My recently graduated daughter is experiencing the same. I tell her to visit a good church on Sunday, to join an exercise club, to socialize in places where you're more likely to meet pleasant people (community organizations, book clubs, volunteer organizations.) Slow and steady wins the race. Oh, and get on a cell phone plan that puts you in "free" contact with your family!

Answer 10

Eat Saltine crackers.
