Hey everyone, so im really clueless about what to do and some ideas with be really apreciated..

Basically im 21 and i moved here around 2 years ago but since then i have just been feeling so miserable,
i cant seem to "connect" with anyone, theres a few people i know but i cant say i really have any mates, i've been unmployed for 5 months and im broke, its rather hard to find work i was hoping with the summer and all things would get abit better but nothing so far i just thank god i have such great parents.. also been single for 2 years and starting to feel abit lonely now.. ive been trying to keep busy by doing a IT tech course and learning flash animation but deep down i only think about going back, all my family disagrees with that, they say its better here and etc etc.. 1st i dont know how i could move back and 2nd i would feel "bad" leaving if that makes any sense..

well sorry i cant put it in form of a question but i think i got my point across..
so if anyone throw some thorts around (or even know of a job around athlone) youd be more then welcome..

I'm the last person that should be giving advice, but by that statement it really sounds like you want to go back to wherever you're from.

When you say you'd feel "bad", I can't help but get them impression that you're actually worried what your family would think if you came home. I'm probably completely wrong though.

Perhaps you moved to early?

If you really want to go back, go back for a year or three. You don;t mention where you;r from originally, but you don;t have to move back in with your parents: just to be around familar faces and places.

Then, if you feel stronger in 3/4 years time, move away again.

BTW - what attracted you to Athlone? Is there something there that went pear-shaped or were you just 'getting away'. Possibility to move on somewhere else, if not back?

If you were happier in England and you think you can do without your families support then go back and check out the lie of the land. Perhaps you have a friend still over there who can put you up while you make your mind up. How long have you been here? it can take a long time to settle in a new place and maybe it's too soon to make big decisions. Good luck to you.

Thats hilariously awesome!



And to the OP, yeah I think you should experiment with going back to England as has already been said.

I know a girl in practically the same situation as yourself. She's from Holland and will most likely end up going back soon. I know its tough to get there, but if you think t will make you happier, then its worth trying at least.
