This is perfectly normal, and it's something that many expats experience. The key is to remember that you're not alone. There are other expats in your community who have gone through the same experiences. There are also many resources available to help you integrate.
Here are some tips for long-term transition:
- Get involved in the local community. This will help you feel more connected to your new home.
