I'm a 23 yr old guy. As soon as graduated as a bachelor (degree) student, I quickly scatter my resume around at a foreign land i thought it would enhance my experience and for a better life, freedom. Currently working as an account servicing in an advertising agency at a foreign land. Yes, I'm a second class citizen in this country, and I'm here working due to a higher pay. However i soon come to realize that i misses my country, the lifestyle and my family and friends. I cant leave as my partner prefers to stay and work at this foreign land (yes he originated from the same land as i am, and was here due to the money as well). He got used to the life here and just doesnt have a mind set of leaving the country.

After a year in this foreign land, i found out that there isnt any respect at work. I felt lifeless, just work almost 12 hours a day for 5 days. Since i'm doing sales as well, the stress just added up. I used to love gym a lot and could workout almost 4-5 days per week. but now not even twice able to exercise. Just being tired after work causes me to lose interest working out. Treated as 2nd class citizen, the pay is not as good to survive here as well. Just that after the currency, it just made a huge difference.

Sometime i just question myself whether did i make the right choice of moving and working here. How do you know whats best for you? Do I wait for a better job in hopes of eliminating the stress and for a better lifestyle? Do I just give up and return to my homeland despite low pay? How do people weigh between passion of lifestyle and work-life-balance?

Im just confuse till im depressed. Unknown by people.

Can help?
