I moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in November, 2008, after seven and a half years in London. Back in June, 2001, I arrived in the UK on my own, with a few small suitcases. I’m coming back with a British husband, two young kids and 100 odd boxes.

Hey, nice idea for the site. Ironically, you’re in Atlanta too..although, I’m moving (again) in a week to Portland for a new job.
I cam to Atlanta last October after living in Asia for a number of years. My buddy just passed me an email with a bunch of links about reverse culture shock, and your site was one of them.
Just left Atlanta end of September 2011 to move back to Paris, France after 12 years. I have been having depression since a week after I landed and severe depression the last 2 months. I just heard about reverse culture shock THIS AFTERNOON. It does not change everything but it feels good to put a name on this waking torture. My heart is back there and you know home is where your heart is. I will be back. Just trying to figure out the reason why life has brought me back here and then I’ll be on my way. Probably in a better way…
What do you do in Atlanta? Do you work?
It’s hard moving back, isn’t it? Yes, I do work. What about you?
Thank you for responding
Not working yet. Looking for work.
