    Is it normal to have a lot of doubt and feel quite scared and question yourself when you make a big decision such as emigration? ??

    Once I handed in my notice to work I'm feel quite stressed since. Does this mean I'm making the wrong decision???

    I based my decision on wanting more in life on a personal level & more. I haven't been happy on where I'm at in life for sometime and I feel emigrating to a country I know well will help provide that, even though I'm a grass is always greener person.
    Its been hanging over me for a couple of years that I felt enough is enough I have to act. Age isn't in my favour, so returning home as an option again isn't ideal. I don't want to uproot again. I have distant relatives where I'm going and friends so it may help.

    In a nutshell, absolutely it it. Emigrating is a major change in life, and it's perfectly normal to be apprehensive about it, and second guess it at times. I did the same thing myself seven years ago - it took me ten minutes with my finger hovering over the mouse button to send the email to my boss that I was resigning to move abroad, immediately followed by thoughts of OHSWEETJESUSWHATHAVEIDONE????!!!!!!

    It sounds to me that you have thought this through for quite a while - you aren't happy in your current position, and you have found somewhere that you think will make you happier. At the end of the day you have two choices - stay where you know you are unhappy, or take a chance and see what else is out there.....

    OP it's totally natural. I spent a semester abroad and even tho I knew it was only temporary and I was coming back, the weeks before were filled with OMYGODWHATHAVEIDONEHOWWILLILIVEINAFOREIGNCOUNTRYAHHHHHHHHHH!I bawled at the airport :o

    I think anyone who's moved anywhere new will have these feelings. It will pass :)
