Expat Fatigue, Part 2 (The Root Cause and Cure)
Have you ever asked yourself questions like “What am I doing here? What’s the point of my life here?”
Are you tired of having to make so many efforts: trying to adapt to different customs, speak a different language, meet new people, fill your days with things to do?
Do you secretly envy your friends back home for all the plans they get to do, that you’re no longer a part of; for building their careers while you had to put yours on hold; for their easy, safe and well-known life?
And have these thoughts crept into your daily life? Affecting your relationship. The way you show up as a mother. Your overall mood and energy level. Your outlook on the future.
You may call it Expat Fatigue.
You may call it Boreout.
You may call it being stuck in a rut.
Whatever words you choose and identify with… bottomline is it sucks.
There’s lots of advice you’ve received, but it doesn’t seem to fix it.
And that’s because it only treats symptoms. Not the root cause of your problems. Not the origin of these unpleasant feelings.
