I'm really sorry that you're not settling and feeling unhappy, like Jo and Peggy I too wonder if 8 weeks is long enough (too long you'll say to feel this sad). Do you work? I ask because getting out meeting people is really helpful to helping you settle, and I'm sure it was one of the things that helped us all do so - hubby worked after 2 weeks, I started my job after 4 and Kids were in school, having a daily 'normal' routine and talking to people and having a laugh was a major boost when you're left feeling unsettled.

The next thing is have you talked to a councellor? they could help you with your feelings, then if you decide to go back it will be less of a reaction to how you're feeling at that particular time. Your GP may be able to organise this via medicare. Migration is one of the biggest causes of depression in Aus.

Have you got any visitors planned to come over or can they come over to help you through this?

Good luck with whatever you decide - your hubby sounds really supportive

Luv Alix
