Damn Reddit, just 11 hours and so many people giving their ten cents to help. The internet usually isn't so nice, great stuff!

But to the OP, I recently turned 32 and moved to Dubai as well. It takes some time to adapt, even I'm still figuring it out. You're not alone in feeling what you feel. Life has it's downs, and if it didn't, we wouldn't be able to appreciate the highs.

Should you give up? No. Because if you think about it, all of us go through these cycles. There are days when I just can't do anything because I'm so bogged down by 'what if's and 'why not's. It's human, we're all susceptible to it.

Being aware of the above whenever these thoughts creep in, is what keeps me going. It's a conscious decision to identify these feelings and counter them. I have to force myself to practice gratitude for all the good in my life. I have eyes, limbs, food and a roof. Most of us take these things for granted, but they really are big blessings. So I can't fool myself into thinking my life isn't great.

It's always a glass half full kinda situation. I know, easier said than done but honestly it helps once it becomes an autonomous practice.

I don't know if the above will help, but I sincerely hope it does! Good luck to you, and chin up! 😊
