Advice needed.

[huntingsnarks]

If anyone's ever been homesick before - irrational tears, unexpected panic attacks, basically acting like a mad person - please tell me how you dealt with it. How you got over it. How you worked through it. Because I may be in London, and it may be living up to my every wild expectation, but I can't completely enjoy it while I'm having a miniature

I got very homesick at the start of my GAP year, in February, in the awful weather, just as it was sinking in that this was for real, and was for twelve whole months

I just want to hug you really hard right now. Your advice was sincerely helpful and comforting. I've been trying to live for the moment (excuse cliches) like you suggested, and it really works. For the last few days, if I've been feeling teary or otherwise blue, I just take a breath, look out the window and remind myself that I'm in London. London, goddammit. :)

And you're so right about Covent Garden! It's magical. It's delicious. Love. Got any more favourite London places?

Thanks a million for all your help.
