Hi inthegloaming ...
I think I know how you feel, in a strange place, no real friends, no family love there. You took a big leap by moving there on your own. You must give yourself credit for that strength. Your strength will help you to move in whatever direction feels right.
Ya' know, it can take a long time to 'feel out' your surroundings. Feels like people in general have changed in recent yrs .. so cautious now.
Here is it 'holiday time', and what would you usually be doing if you were 'where you came from'?
It's said that 'our body clocks' remember the time of year and what we did, and well, they expect it again.
I'm guessing in your case you're not getting it.
I used to begin making arrangements for travel to what I used to call 'home' until my father passed away and my mother sold it, this time of year. And, I can feel it. I think I even mourn it.
Miss whole fam' getting together to plan and do Thanksgiving thing, and right alongside, Christmas shopping and plans.
I've been where I live now for a year and I remember I said, 'I'll give it a year b4 I leave'. Well, a year is up, and I still don't like it here, but I'm 'stuck' w/o any way at all to move. I've tried every avenue short of using someone just for their money, which I couldn't stomach. I'm trying to make the best of it, but having a bad day/eve.
I've still not unpacked some boxes; guess in anticipation of leaving here.(?)
Did you try contact the new friend tonight?
I hope you have someone to talk or be with.
You'll be o.k.
There is usually more activity here in the eve' (You're in the right place .. lots of good people.), tho' many posters, for some reason, live in the East. I'm on mountain time, so sometimes will be the last one to post.
I'm sorry you're not getting more support here tonight. You might try one of the other boards.
I'll check back in an hour or so. I might try find something on TV to watch.
bestwishes, cf
