im missing my family and friends in the philippines..its almost a year now that i haven't seen them.. well i always see them on cam coz we regularly chat.. but it seems its not enough.. i want to kiss and hug them for real.. when i think of going back home i have this feeling of resistance.. coz the reason i want to go and work here is to give them a good future.. that's why i hate OFF days!lol im just being depressed when im not doing anything..

Greetings candy_kei, and welcome to mylot!;)
I guess what you're experiencing right now is quite normal, just be contented as of the moment.
You are right, just think for the future and what lies ahead of you. You are not doing this just for yourself, but for the sake of your family!;)
Anyways, enjoy the moment and consider yourself lucky as other's are having a hard time on worrying on what food they would bring on their plates. As life here in the Philippines is getting more worse, because some are having difficulties on looking for a fine decent job..

Its unfortunate that some body gets a special feeling that they are depressed.In stead of fighting the idea endlessly it would be fine to get habituated to being busy in some activity.Books, music, gardening, walking, exercise, meditation, spirituality,travel, nature beauty,(human too), loving, being loved..all these can be good friends which help become positive about life and avoid being innecessariliy worrysome about anything.The life time some times seem insufficient to make most out of it.

maybe you could take some time there and think of your present family there to wherever you are. spend time and talk with them as if they are your family like here in the Philippines to. though you cannot really deny the fact that it is totally different, but surely it would heal and be the remedy of your loneliness and depresion too. spend some time with the Lord too. ask somebody who is a Christian that will lead you to knowing HIm...all the best here...
