EU withdrawl

[ErikaerikaERIKA]

Its been about a week and a half since I left Europe, and I feel miserable! I almost started to cry today when I was in shoe store b/c the selection here is crap! Not like in Europe where they have cool and awesome shoes a-plenty! And it gets me missing the places Ive been and longing to see the places I missed! Does anyone else feel like this ( after their trip?!). And if so, will the gap in my heart fill up and my sorrow fade?

when i saw the subject, my 1st thought was of the "EU withdrawl" clause in EU's new draft constitution!

but, yes, when i get home, i also long for my next trip across the "pond." actually, i've already started planning my next TWO trips to Europe!

It seems like this feeling is fairly common -- have a look at my previous post in the "Just Back Reports" section ("Back Home & Depressed"). The feeling will probably fade after a couple of weeks, especially once you start to fill your time and your thoughts with work and other activities.

However, I suspect the best antidode for this is to start planning your next trip!!! That's what I'm doing, and it seems to help. I'm looking forward to regular trips to Europe in future, but at the moment a lack of funds is slowing me down. If I win the Lottery, you won't see my heels for smoke!!!

Good luck with this, and welcome home!

Hi!
Totally common, don't worry! I've been back since November and I'm still missing it as much as the first week I got back! I think you always long for Europe when you totally fall in love with it!
