This is a common topic here and lately I have had to experience this. For the last five months I have been living on the other side of the Atlantic because of my husband's job. I have 2 weeks to go until we go home.

We came here and I jumped in trying to get involved and acclimated. It worked for months but at the 4 month mark I was done! All I have wanted now is to go home. I started to completely withdraw from everything that represents here and not my home. I feel sad a lot. My cycle has been having one day every week or so where I am really sad and I cry a lot and I really feel the sadness in my abdomen. And then the next day I wake up and it has lessened and I can go on not feeling sad. My husband totally allows me to have my feelings and he doesn't try to make them go away either.

So the point of my post? When I am having one of those days I don't try to lessen my sadness or run from it. It just is, so I sit with it and try to get through the day. I think that my sitting with it is what helps it dissapate and go away for the rest of the week. If I didn't let it come it would just keep chasing me and never give me any relief.
