elow zip12ph. homesick is one of you biggest opponent when your away with you family and loved ones. I personally experienced that,because i worked abroad for almost 6 years. its very hard for me at that time coz it's my first time to be separated from my family. it took me half a year to overcome my homesick. every week, i went to the church to pray. i always ask HIM to give me strength.i always said to myself it's for my family's benefit.i should be strong for them. the other thing i did was i made friends.friends really a great help especially when your away.they will become your second family.and last focus!determination to work for the better of your family.this will help you survive homesickness.

Call them and tell them u love them.
Make your computer your friend, by spending more time on browseing the internet. This is a form of diversional therapy.

i make it sure that i've my pictures family on my wallet or bringing an album wherever i go., so that when i feel homesick and i want to go home, Instead of wasting my money for transportation. I just get back to my drawer get my album and start thinking of them

Hello there!
I've experienced that also when i went to other country to work. At first i thought that its easy but when the days goes by i felt homesickness. sometimes i cried and think what they are doing right now or if they are in good condition always. all i did was go to my friends house or going somewhere else just to enjoy myself. ill go home if its time to sleep because im alone also at home and when at home you will always think of them even what you are going to do even if you'll going to keep busy. the best advice that i can teach you is always pray to god, ask Him to protect your family always so that someday you will meet your family again.
hope that my experienced can give some advice to you. happy mylotting.

Just keep on doing what you're supposed to do there. Focus on it. It'll keep your mind off of your family.
