As one who has suffered from several bad depressive episodes I can really appreciate what you are going through. The abrupt change in geography and culture is something difficult to deal with and it makes total sense to me that it could trigger a deep depression. No one can understand that deep pit of pain and despair unless they have had some experience with it themselves. It is truly very nearly unbearable at times.<br /><br />How inspiring that you have not regained any weight as you deal with the depression! Appetite and food intake are usually seriously affected (in one way or another) while depressed. It shows incredible strength and determination, as well as the self understanding which you have gained, to keep eating and food choices on and even keel.<br /><br />I wish you the best during this period of readjustment!

Culture shock represents much loss from everyday rituals and comforting traditions that now exist only in the past. It takes time, patience, (and small steps) to learn to feel at home again in a new (and very different) environment. Be good to yourself and to your sweet heart. Lean on each other. Try not to allow your fears to determine your choices. A moment and a day will come when the discomfort has fallen to manageable levels, and you will see before you a wider array of options from which to choose. Choose the one that speaks to your deepest values. You'll know it when you see it. <br /><br />Hugs, <br />hopefulandree Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239703775224526488.post-55687696032280954132012-12-14T17:40:20.559-08:002012-12-14T17:40:20.559-08:00Dear Girl, I am so very, very sorry for the hardsh...Dear Girl, I am so very, very sorry for the hardship you are experiencing. I am impressed by the fact that the incredible work you have done in order to manage other aspects of your life have solidified to the extent that they are helping to maintain changes you have already implemented. I hope that your circumstances will provide the necessary conditions that will bring you to a place of peace and fulfillment. <br />I imagine you have several internet friends and admirers who are grateful that you checked in. I count myself among them, as I am certain I am one of many who wish you the very best of everything,<br />dlambdlambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499771234654872541noreply@blogger.com
