Other than being homesick, were you happy living there before the job mess? If so, and if it were me (and I'm not saying you should do this), I would go back and give it six months before making a final decision about moving back.

I was happy living there. I mean, the culture shock is for real, but coming from where I do there will probably be culture shock anywhere. And I DID want to get out and see the country. Have new experiences. I still want to do it. The 6 months thing is a good idea. I think I just need to learn coping skills...cause it feels like I have no control over the way I feel. The homesickness really really hurts and it comes on in seriously heavy waves :/
