So I’m planning to move back to US after descending to my parents house sequela to my psychosis and hospitalization and becoming homeless for a while. I need to re obtain vital documents for my citizenship in US, like passport and social security etc.
I’ve obtained a birth certificate from NJ, which is necessary to get a replacement passport in order to apply for the copy of my SS card, which I need for employment when I move back.
I need to make a trip to Tokyo to get to the US embassy, for my passport. I’ve purchased the plane ticket already.
The problem is that my work is demanding me to have a 14day quarantine after I come back from Tokyo. That will mean me losing on roughly 700$, and that my co workers will have to cover me.
Should I be sympathetic towards my co workers about having to cover me, and them possibly losing day offs? Or wait three more months to get vaccinated hopefully around august and put a hold on the whole scheme of moving back as my psychosocial recovery?
Yeah I’ll be accumulating a bit more money, but if I don’t go, I feel like I’m slowing down in moving forward in my life. I’m thinking screw it and go anyways…
I would look at getting back as soon as you can. Quaranteen is a short period in the grand scheme of things. You need to look after yourself first, then you can help others.
Idk about you but I prefer living close to my family and not in another far country. Family supports and helps me. Unless you have a bad family like drug addicts thats another story.
I agree… but US is my home country where I was born raised and lived for my entire life🙁 I am totally scared of leaving the home away from my parents support and sometimes wake up shook at times thinking about leaving, to be honest.
But I can’t shake the idea of having friends again and having a shot at having a better work… I want to go to college again. Have a girlfriend… life
It’s sad, but my parents will pass away eventually… and I would be left with no body. At the same time, they are getting old, so I do feel guilt for not spending more time with them; me moving out will mean less. It’s my dilemma
I guess I could be glorifying my memories back when I was living there before my psychosis. I feel a bit better, and more stable with my affect compared to when I first moved.
I just sincerely believe that I would not qualify for any type of employment with reasonable pay here in Japan… I feel I have more opportunities their in the US.
Thats what I am thinking, I did the same while psychotic and regretted it. Risked being hospitalized in Germany. Lived there for 4 months. It was mostly hell and I wasted like 20 000$cad.
That is what my father told me the other day… but seems impossible to find a job so far away
I’m thinking of saving up enough money to pay first/last month and safety deposit of an apt, and few to live off for few months
To be honest, I wouldn’t leave Japan for the US. It’s so hard to get by here. Do you have any place to live when you move? Right now you have a job and a home and support.
Japan is far more civilized than the US when it comes to a lot of things.
