Is this right?

Oct 04, 2006 22:24

I think I'm depressed. Or in the starts of what a true depression feels like. I've been crying a lot lately and small things are setting me off. Work isn't making me happy like it use to. I miss my family and I miss having friends. I have absolutely no one that I can really talk to up here. Sure some of my colleagues are great listeners but ( Read more... )

Ange, there's nothing pathetic about wanting to be near your family. Hello, I still live at home, for more reasons that just the cheap rent! You're very close to your family, like I'm very close to mine - just being away from everyone over the summer didn't feel right, and I knew I would be back. Plus, you've got a little niece here that I'm sure you would love to see hit all her growing-up milestones, or at least most of them. No one should make you have to justify why you'd want to live closer to family and friends. It's nobody's call but yours ( ... )

I love being near my family. Now that I'm leaving again I've been really upset. I should be happy with Chris coming home, but he still won't be there for a while, and I'll be alone (well, except for Eloise, but she's not much for converstation).

It's totally normal to want to live with your "tribe" of family and friends who care about you, and it's only in western civilization that we try to fight that.

I keep telling my mom that when we move back I want to buy the house next door :-P

There's nothing abnormal about wanting to be near your family. Emily puts it pretty well about the whole Western Civilization thing. When I lived in Corning for the 6 months that I was there, I felt the same exact way. I seriously called my mother every morning at 6:30 on the dot in tears because I was so damn homesick and knew NOONE.

Keep being goofy, it's good medicine :) the year will fly by before you know it.

I totally understand wanting to be with your family. its not pathetic. i mean right now my family is going through such a hard time with my cousin being so ill and we are so close and its nice to have that bond. i wouldnt want to be anywhere else right now then with your family. If you ever want to talk to someone you can always talk to me. you have such great friends and sisters who love you :)
