I'm from a small town, and just moved to the city to live with my bro for school.
At first I did ok, but as a few weeks went by I found myself staying inside more, now I don't like leaving at all. I have a great job, but I don't want to go there either. I don't talk to anyone at school. I'm not much of a people person, and so now people avoid me because they think I'm weird.
I feel so lost, and not like the old me at all. I feel empty.
I want to go back to my small town where I am happy, but my parents spent weeks arranging for me to come here and I agreed to go. I would have to take distance ed back home but I think it's worth it
My friends might be moving here the next semester, but I don't think I can take this place that long, and now if I go back home they'll be coming here.
To top it off my parents know I'm on anti-depressents and say that I'm not in my right mind to decide anything. I know people think it's best for me, and I've tried getting active etc. but I'm not happy here.

I know you don't want to disappoint anyone, but I honestly feel that you know yourself best. If you really want to go home that's exactly what I would do. If you are homesick call your parents and talk to them about how you really feel, because next to you, your parents probably know you best. Sometimes with just a little time situations get a whole lot better. If this is your first time you've moved from your parents that can also be a big hurdle to jump over the very first time. It also sounds like you are connected with your friends that will be joining you, (sounds great but if you are in so much distress staying there it could push you over the edge so you wouldn't enjoy your friends in this environment as well). Please take some time and have a heart to heart honest talk with your parents. Even if they worked hard with the plans and finances etc., my guess is that they love you very much and want you to be happy. I'm sure they could be of some help to you especially if they are concerned about your frame of mind. I hope this helps!

Go back to the little town.
It is quite a culture shock when you go from a small town to a big city. There are a lot of ammenities that a big city has to offer, but from my personal experience, it's easier to meet and hang out with small town people. Big city people are so jaded that it's hard to meet anyone. My truest friends are from my little town, they've never borrowed money from me or ditched me. I can't say that about city people. City people are very self-absorbed.
Have a good talk with your parents and if they're not supportive, maybe you can move in with friends or relatives back home.
best of luck

I'm sorry, it sucks to be in a place you don't like. However, if you give up now, you'll always feel that you quit and that's very hard. Try and stick it out. Brainstorm what you can do to solve your problem. What would make you feel better? Can you schedule regular times to talk to friends and family? Can you get on a regular exercise schedule of at least 40 minutes a day of walking? Can you talk to the doctor who put you on the meds? Any of these might help you.

You sound Homesick. Stick it out alittle longer, & see if you can find a group-or club- of people like yourself where you are- that you can share your feelings with. You need someone THERE- to relate to. Big cities CAN be overwhelming... -But if you concentrate your Interest in ONE small area of one, then it can seem like a little "town" all its own! Good luck. :)

It's called...being HOMESICK . I've been homesick for years and years and years...but I'm stuck in this town that I don't like...because my son lives here. "Home" is too far away to visit. Don't get " stuck " where you are. There's No Place Like Home !!!!
