Those who moved countries alone, how did you cope with initial lonely phase? How did it get better?

I moved abroad 4 months ago, alone. The city is nice but with all that I’m feeling, I think I’m not enjoying it to the fullest.

Although my colleagues are desi too, I can’t seem to gel with them; I feel lonely sometimes.

The job gets hard too, with 12 hours days and nights (i work in a hospital). And there’s the extra exams and courses one needs to study for. It gets too overwhelming enough for me to wonder if I want to continue that field lifelong.

Went through a breakup last year, (which in hindsight seems like a good thing now) after an emotionally abusive relationship. But had a tough time getting back to my feet.

I feel guilty that I’m not happy despite having all the stuff I need. I really wanted to move and explore life in my mid-20s. But I’m constantly worried about my future- my career, finding a partner, my network of friends and family.

It honestly feels like everything is super tough; I’m trying to stay strong, but just had to ask if anyone else felt this way when u moved countries? How did things get better for you?
