“Moved back to America after 5 years abroad”

Returning to America was a huge mistake for me. I'm lonely, scared, and overstimulated.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had found a way to stay in Japan or had a better support system in America."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't move back to America if you can avoid it. It's not as great as you think it is."
