โI was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember my degree not recognised like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.โ
โPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder and try not to make big decisions on the worst days, I learned that the hard way and and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โAbout 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.โ
โI 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.โ
