 I'm such a big baby I don't even know what to do with myself right now. My parents just left for the UK, after visiting me in Japan for 2 weeks. I felt depressed all day yesterday, and today could barely hold back my tears as I saw them off at the train station. Now I'm sitting in my empty apartment crying and feeling pathetic

Not at all! Thank you for your kind words and suggestion, I feel comforted by them!

Aww *big hug* It's totally not babyish to feel rubbish and homesick! You've done amazing, I'm really proud of you! xxxxx

doesn't seem babyish at all to me. *hugs* The idea of a stress build-up seems only reasonable, given how much you've done, and the fact that you feel this way now doesn't negate any of your enjoyment of and/or well-deserved pride in everything you've done.

And it's good to hear from you, though I'm sorry you're feeling low.

Kitty! It has been so long! Good to hear from you too :)

I think it's a mixture of my parents leaving/starting (yet another) new school/deciding what to do career-wise after JET that is getting me so down.
I'm feeling much better than yesterday though, and I'm sure I'll be back to normal in a couple of days.
Thanks for the support *hugs*

*hugs* You were probably due for a sad/homesick moment sooner or later. Nothing babyish about it.

*hugs back* Thank you.
Yeah, I've had the odd homesick moments before, but for some reason this one seems particularly bad.

aww :( don't worry, I think no matter how mature and independent one gets, or how old you are, having to see your parents leave can always make you feel that way.

[elspethelf]

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I hope the feeling goes away soon!
