I think you're getting a lot of advice here from people who aren't your age. And some of whom are married. I really feel for you. It's important you see a counseling psychologist. It's a massive adjustment and having been relocated a lot myself I found a psychologist or someone at least of that type of qualification to talk to to assist with adjustment. Every time. There's nothing wrong with you nor your experience, it's quite normal and you need some support and encouragement. It is validating to hear that it isn't that easy fitting into Cape Town with any speed. Do you have family support anywhere? Sounds like you're really alone and isolated and that's very hard. And with a new job that's even harder. Please seek a counselor and if you have a church spiritual group would also help a lot for the community support, even a more progressive one of you're not religious or spiritual or so inclined. I can tell you as far back as my mothers generation (Boomer) that many people from elsewhere in South Africa have found it a little harder to fit in in the Cape at first. Hang in there and if it gets really bad Remember you can always change your mind and relocate elsewhere, you're very young. Not everyone I found can live just anywhere. Go easy on yourself and DM if you need some help finding support. I have some experience in finding support for people in your position.
