how do you get rid of homesickness?

Answer 1

It is amatter of psycological blankness.Try keeping your self busy as much as possible.Make good friends and enjoy outing expeditions or games.If you like reading visit libraries and read there and also collect good books for reading at home.As a student and latter as abachelor I underwent all the problems of homesickness. It was work and good games and reading made me forget my parents,home and other attachments.
This is a temporary phase in every ones life.
As project managers we have spent time in isolated jungles and God forsaken places.I think you are better off than us.

Answer 2

Just think, you are only there for four months and you have already made it three weeks. I would make the best use of your time while you are there. Try to learn more about the culture and environment. Use this as a learning expierience and take advantage of it. There are alot of people who would love to have the chance to expierience another country. When you go out by yourself where do you go? I would get to know the nieghborhood you are living in. If the people are not friendly at your work could be because they know you are sad and may be afraid to approach you. Try being more friendly and smiling more at work. Also, maybe one day bake some cookies or a favortite of yours and take it in and share it with your coworkers. Everyone likes food!!! But quit being so sad around your coworkers, they may think you hate their country. I would take advantage of your time away, cheer up and try having a little fun. Also try learning something new every day about the country you are in. You have already made it three weeks there, you almost have one month down. I agree with your parents, you will be back in no time. So quit being sad and start having fun. Start smiling, you are going to be okay! Good luck and hang in there!

Home sickness:
In olden days, there is no awareness for education and job: But now a days it is becoming necessary for going out of our area for studies and carrier: Even we have to move abroad: When we are concentrating our studies or work, we do not have time to think of the home: But when we go for food and for other amenities, we will think of home: If suitable amenities aer available we will forget the things:

Anyhow the relationship with the family and the happiness we have to forgo by diverting with other activities;

Now a days in many families,members sit in front of th TV and forget this kind of personal discussions and children's study etc:

Answer 4

I go and visit as often as I can, and bring back foods, and items I can't find anywhere else. This helps not to feel so far away, and also, I talk to my friends all the time, and when I'm there I make it a point to see them, this way when we talk, we talk about how much fun we had, and what we'll do when I get back, and also, how much we miss doing stuff together.
