I'll try to adjust to the place,and meet new friends. Make myself really busy. Write a letter to my love once so I feel that I am still am with them even that I am far away from home.I'll have time to chat with them so I won't feel much terrible being homesick. Have a nice day!

The key is to keep occupied. Just make sure you are doing things often. The busier you are, the less free time you have to think about things that make you homesick. And when you do have free time, you are too worn out to worry about it. I think this is good advice in general for when something is bugging you, not just homesickness. I used this trick to get over break-ups as well. I work out a lot, I work harder at work, I make sure I see my friends a lot. If you are homesick, good luck! Just try to keep busy!

I can't tell you how many times I've found myself feeling homesick and it's one of the worst feelings ever. When you hear that saying" There's no place like home" you really don't realize that when you were at home, we take that for granted.
I guess what you really need to do is keep yourself busy with your favorite hobbies or get together with your friends just to keep it off your mind and ride it out.
Hope that helps.

Hello my friend,I stay far from my home because of my job.Since last 7months I had never been home though I am so homesick.What I do then is call up at home and talk with each and every one in the family and tell them how I am feeling right now.It feels good at least when you can hear the voice of your loved ones,though you cannot see them.Also,I have few friends out here,so I can call them up and talk.It makes me feel better.I would also watch some movies,listen to music or simply go out this makes me forget my homesickness for a while.Happy myLotting!

when i get homesick, i have 2 options. either i indulge or i repulse. when I choose to indulge, i look at photos, watch videos, listen to songs that reminds me more of home...sometimes, i let myself cry. it just brings me relief. when i chose to repulse, i go out and spend time with other people. Go bowling, go shopping or hit the gym.

welcome to the wonderful world of mylot. spending time at mylot can ease the feeling of homesickness. it is fun here. homesickness is natural and it is not easy to get over with. just stay focus at work and always ask guidance to the Lord. lucky for you there are internet access all over the world so you can easily contact home and have a chat with them. see them on webcam too.
