Sorry you are feeling sad, but living in Jersey will totally depress anybody.

Seriously though, it's normal. My wife has the same feelings. She's been here about 4 months and there have been a handful of days that she so depressed and was almost ready to pack-up and go back. This is normal and you are definitely not alone. Once you get your AP or greencard you can go as much as you need to. This first waiting period is tough but you need to think about how much you love your husband, your new life, and how long you have waited to be here.

ok I'm noticing some of the threads being moved...pretty crappy...I've moved a few back to the Canada board.

Who is moving them?

Leave them well enough alone, there is a reason most of us Canadians who post here don't post our topics in the off topic board...if we wanted them there, we would post them there.

I still miss home and I've been here 3 yrs! Course my 12 yr old daughter is back home and until we can get her here, this place will never feel like home.

I think it really depends on the area you live as well. I'm in Utah and people here aren't too friendly to new comers. Have only 1 friend here besides my hubby. Have tried everything to make friends but most of these people are Mormons, have lived here all their lives , have grown up together with their close friends and can't be bothered making friends with someone new. So, I spend a lot of time by myself. I'm even getting used to it. I am a very outgoing person, and usually can make friends really easy, but not here.

I'm hoping to go home for christmas but it depends if I can find another job, (been looking since May) and finances are hurtin.

Oh well, such is life!

Today has been a particularly rough day.

I'm just venting here as I need it I think.

Things are good here, don't get me wrong but, I miss home, bad.

I lived there my whole life everyone always says they can't wait to get out of Brantford....now that I'm gone well.....it's just not the same here.

My parents and brother came this weekend for a visit and to meet Nick's family. It went great and I loved seeing them. They left this morning. Also, today is my best friend Shelby's birthday, her 21st. She was my maid of honour. I can't be there with her today, I can't kiss her and give her a big hug and just spend some time with her celebrating her day. My heart is breaking a bit.

She had a party with all of our people from my old job (we worked together) and there were my friends, out having an amazing time, celebrating and laughing and I wasn't there.

I'm happy here with Nick but there is a section of my heart, this painful spot that today is hurting more than usual.

Hi Laura....I can relate. From the 'flip' side of things, I'm from the US, am in Canada....and I have really bad days as well. You definitely get out of your 'comfort' zone and feel totally lost. For now, I just ride the 'emotional' roller coaster.....good day, bad day, good day. I hope that the bad days become fewer soon. Hang in there!! {hugs}

[Sprailenes 47]

Sorry to bump this thread.

But I found coming back from Canada this time was easier. I think it helps now that Mike and I are on our own, and when we crossed the border into the states I actually went: "Yay we're home!" and Mike pointed out that it was the first time he heard me refer to the states as home.

I guess thats a good thing.

[thetreble 19]

Nev, I think we are both moving in the right direction. I was going to ask you the other day if you are feeling any better about being here. I'm not feeling SO bad anymore.

I've been in the States almost two years and there are days that I miss Canada so desperately I could scream. I was back in Toronto a couple of weeks ago and when I came back through immigration at Pearson, the (nice!!!) customs guy said "welcome home". It set me back on my heels for a second. The funny thing is, I did feel like I was returning "home" to North Carolina. On this particular trip to Toronto, the city seemed dingy and dirty to me not to mention a lot more congested. Two of the mornings I took the subway downtown to meet friends and I couldn't get a seat. It was 10:15-10:30am so rush hour was well over by then. People tell me the influx of immigrants to the major Canadian urban centers is astounding. So many things were going through my head like Canada's open door immigration policy versus the hell I'm going through to become an American citizen. Not exactly sure what I'm missing so badly.......for sure the people I love but it's more than that......a political system I can understand? less hostilty for people of different ethnicities? the availability of Shreddies?

Aaaargh! I forgot to bring back some Shreddies!

I've been gone for two years and just got back from a visit. Did 4 u-turns in less than 30 minutes driving in an area I "thought" I knew well. Except they'd done so much construction since I'd been there that all my recognizable landmarks were gone. There were literally hundreds of new houses and new buildings and new roads and new traffic lights where there hadn't been before. I got totally lost.

Been here in the South now for three years, and I still miss my friends and family at home. My friends call all the time or I call them. Sometimes I just wish I could be there for 24 hours when I know there all going to go to a camp or party with all the girls.

If my oldest son and parents could move here I would be fine.
