Kitchen sink psychology

I am beginning to think it makes me feel worse homesick-wise when people come to visit, especially when it seems to be this unending parade of people from different points of my life (parents, best friend from college, childhood friends coming later this week, friends from my neighborhood in NYC coming at the end of this month).

I am trying to repeat the mantra to myself, "I am not crazy, it's normal to want to suddenly lock myself in the bathroom and have a good cry."

  • To clarify, I am not complaining about the visitors. I love these people. I just think it's really doing a number on me emotionally to gear up for their visits and then say goodbye again, all while still in the thick of the "what the heck am I doing here" phase.

  • I'm sorry this is having such an effect on you, Anna... letting it all out with a good cry sounds like a good idea. Are you not happy with your life there? Wish I could help, it reminds me of how I felt most of my life in Rome, I can completely relate to the "what the heck am I doing here" feeling. I hope everything will fall into place soon for you! 
  • I'm sorry that you are feeling that way! I haven't been able to go visit or be visited by my family/friends yet, only been away for about 8 months, but it is still hard. There was semi planning on my sister coming to visit us around Christmas and I was so excited, but yet had some of the same feelings you seem to be having as far as it depressing me knowing I'm just going to have to say goodbye shortly after. Unfortunately in the end she wasn't even able to, so I don't know which was worse! lol.
  • Sorry Anna! I definitely understand. I've been dealing with that way of thinking recently, what are we doing here. And that's an emotional roller coaster to handle with each visitor.
