From people who came through it
“About three years ago, that was me. Visa renewal stress. That was my life. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Keep going, even slowly.”
rodel_dad · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“For whoever is where I was: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The first winter. That was my life. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. x”
Delivery driver in Derby · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“For anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was a few years back. The first winter. That was my life. I wake up most days without that dread. It changes. It really does. Sending love.”
godfred.cards · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“I know the first year is rough. You're going to feel like a stranger in your own life. That's normal. Keep calling home. Find one small thing that feels like yours, a park, a coffee shop, a neighbour who says hello. Don't wait for the loneliness to lift on its own. I waited too long. And if you can, find people from back home. They'll get it without you having to explain. It gets easier, but it doesn't happen by itself. You have to make it happen. Even when you're tired.”
