Q: Feeling depressed!

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a 46 year old woman whom 9 years ago moved from the States to Bahrain. I loved every single solitary moment of my 9 years in beautiful sunny Bahrain! No my husband landed a directors position with basically the same organization, but we had to relocate to Amman Jordan. I hate it! I've been here now for 2 months and every single solitary day, my mind keeps remembering all the lovely events, friends, work, everyday life, malls, everything about my life in Bahrain. The people here are not friendly, I have no friends, and I met one woman, but understandably she's busy with her two kids and life. My son is attending a lovely school, but long, long hours, so I don't see him much. My life has turned upside down. Before, my husband travelled alot, I really didn't have to cook and I had this wonderful life, but now in Jordan, his hours have become much shorter and he hardly travels if any. I'm living this boring life, and I feel no one understands me. I've tried reaching out my old friends in Bahrain, but everyone gives me the same old answer, "it'll take time". Bahrain did not even take a minutes time to adjust; not like this! I'm sorry if I'm appearing whiny and spoiled, I don't mean it that way, I've thought about that about myself. And I don't want to hear, "be grateful for what you have" I am grateful for what I have. But I don't why I still feel this way.

Yours faithfully,

i feel sorry for you dear i went only 3 days to jordan and it is so disgusting. people are aggressive. and it was horrible 3 days where like 3 weeks. try to find things about jordan
the first advantage is it is close to egypt so you can go an visit the peramide or the lovely beaches there
the second advantage is that they have many historical places mountains that where cut out to houses by aintiant people.
the 3 advantage is the weather it is much better to go out for walks than bahrein it is so humid and hot.
a ot of jordanian lived in the states or uk so it is easy to find some people who you can be friends with.
try to go to school and learn some interesting things or start a new page like new business or keep your self busy with something why don't you write about the life in the middle east a point of view from a western or design your new cook book that is a mixed of midetrian western dishes.
