Homesickness
Hi doctors,
I am an IT professional, working in Pune since 2012 but I am from UP. I was happily living in Pune from 2012-2020.
I went to my hometown in February 2020 and now I have to come back as office resume in May 2022.
I am not feeling good since I have moved here in Pune, it's almost one month now.
I feel lonely, sleep cycle is also disturbed, lost appetite little bit, headache is also there, I cry without any reason, also fatigue is there and I feel tired. I miss my home, my family.
I was never like this.. I was always happy-go-lucky type girl.
How to overcome this feeling?
Thanks in advance 😊

Hi
You have been working from home in your hometown for a long time. You have to now resume office. It seems like you are still missing the work from home atmosphere. You are not able to adjust to the office atmosphere. It is natural to feel stressed about going to office after working from home for a long time. It is also natural to feel homesick. The symptoms you are having could be due to stress and it also could be due to you feeling upset about not being at home with family. It is important to remember that with time you will feel better about working in office in another city. To feel better consult a psychologist. Remember that you can go back to being a happy-go-lucky type girl.

Hi... It seems you are missing home and since you recently experienced what living at home feels like so you are missing it even more now. It's easy to live away from home as a young adult but as we grow up we tend to realize the importance of family and home. It is very natural for you to feel this way. Try to find work from home opportunities as there are many such positions in IT sector these days. Also, please seek professional help for your concerns as talking to a therapist can help you bring back your control over your mood and help to cope with your present situation.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling is required.

Due to home sick, you are feeling like this.
Try to change the PG, or your room or roommates..
Maybe, getting the feeling of being accepted and like mindedness can motivate you to continue at Pune..
