One of the things that really helped me was finding a place that felt like “home” in my new city. Then anytime I felt homesick I tried to visit that place and do things I did at home. For me that was a local coffee shop and reading/working. Also, never underestimate a good video chat or cry. Sometimes it’s the small things

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped.

I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing
