Thanks again for the replies, it's helping to clear my head a little and giving me some food for thought

Thanks everyone for your replies

I recently went back to the uk for a family funeral and have since returned to Brissie, right now I have the biggest home sickness/ loneliness I have ever felt since being out here. I came out on my own around 2 yrs ago and all my family are back home, I've never felt like this before and right now all I can think of is heading back to the uk back to family and friends, I've got friends over here and an active lifestyle but I can't shake the feeling of not belonging here, also when I think of the future I.e marriage,kids etc I cant even think of having them here and being so far away from my family, it's a struggle at the moment just trying to cope with the reality that I'm a long way from home. It's weird because I've never felt this before as when I left before it was all exciting a new adventure etc, but now it's just an empty feeling that I've got. has anyone else felt like this?
