Thanks all for all the support. I appreciate it.

@Hopingtrying: As you might suspect from my English, I'm not from the USA and have never visited USA, but one day I'd love to visit. I know what you are saying, though. I've spent most of my adult life outside my home country. But I usually feel something different when I get closer to my town where I lived my childhood (I travel by car from the borders). The views, the mountains, the fields, the smell of air, ..., etc make you feel you are home. But the people usually make me forget this very quickly.

@prefabsprout: When I find people here try to listen to me, it's better for me than to go to a professional, because I know they do it for no return. It's more genuine if expressed with empathy and understanding.

@Thunder Bow: Different people have different challenges. I know I'm luckier than many in certain aspects, but this doesn't eliminate my own struggles in other aspects of life.

@MickeyCheeky: Thanks.

@bornunderabadsign: I think part of the problem is that I live in a strange land. People may try to get closer to their communities as a gateway to the larger society, but I'm a stranger to that, too. I'm just not good with people, in general. But being in a foreign country makes the isolation feeling stronger.

@Fharraige: To be honest, I don't feel comfortable with the idea of seeing a therapist at the moment. Maybe at some point, but right now I'm not ready.
