Whats your cure for homesickness?

I like to call my mom. And occasionally bake. Food can cure anything.

im not close with my family. and when i talk to my boyfriend it just makes me sadder, because hes just as far away.

make friends wherever you are and just try to enjoy yourself as much as you can where you are. you’re not going to forget how much you miss home, but at least you won’t be miserable where you are.
as hard as it is, try not to dwell on the fact that you’re in one place, and your boyfriend/whoever is in another place. like i guess just make the best of it, you know? (:

PT.

It used to be going home, but that doesn’t exist any more.

So now I have made a new home to go to by, as tiffyandthewall says, making friends here and enjoying myself here, as well as by buying a house here, getting married here, having kids and pets here, and simply adjusting to here.

Plus I use email and Facebook to keep in touch with family who live far away.

i live with two friends who since the move-in have become not my friends. the people i meet day to day are not the type of people i would socialize with out of my school/work setting. ive been trying for three years now to make friends and relationships here, and i have been unsuccessful.

Southern food and Jack Daniels.

@lacerbabe – You need to figure out at what kind of place the type of people you want to socialize with hang out, and then go find one and hang out there, too.

@lacerbabe99- perhaps you should change your idea of the type of people you would socialize with. Expand your horizons a bit. My best friend, my boyfriend, and many of my other friends are not people I though I would want to spend much time with when I met them. Turns out, they’re awesome.

The best cure for being home sick is to go home! LoL!! No seriously, if you’ve already tried to make things work and you’re still not happy then maybe that’s just not the place for you. I went through it. I ended up quitting my job and going home. And I’m doing great! No regrets at all! Good luck with what ever you decide on.

I have to agree with @kheredia. I went through this last year. I moved across the country all by myself. I was so miserable, my only valid option was to come back. Lewiston isn’t a bad place, but it just wasn’t for me.
