Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
For some reason, I am feeling really really homesick today.
I went on facebook this morning and my sister-in-law was in my newsfeed. Her profile pic is of her, my brother, and my nephew and niece and as soon as I saw that picture my stomach went tight and all I can think about is how bad I want to go home and play with my nephew :( I miss him so much and I have missed out on so many developments since I've moved and sometimes it just tears me apart. Right now is one of those times.
I haven't even met my niece yet.
I moved to the other side of the country from my family in January, and my niece was born in June. My nephew is going to turn 2 in just a few days and soooo much has changed since I last saw him in December! When I last saw him he was just starting to walk and develop a rudimentary vocabulary... now he's running all over the place, talking a mile a minute, and looks like a little boy and not a baby anymore! I talk to him on the phone sometimes and it is the cutest thing in the whole world.
My sis in law commented on my facebook status which said I'm feeling homesick and want to play with my nephew and told me I should call them and chat with Josh (nephew) for a while. But I don't think that will help at all right now.. it will just make me miss him more. It's like when I look at pictures of him... they make me smile but at the same time they make me miss him so much more to the point where if I had the money I would hop on a plane right now and go see him.

you can either work your way through it, or go around it. have you tried looking or doing anything that motivated you to do and move where you are now? otherwise itll pass on its own, probably over night while sleeping.
