I live in Finland and moved here in 1991 from Estonia. Anyone else moved too?
And do you think you have more mental illness because you are not living where you kinda belong?

I became ill after living for 3 years in a foreign country. Probably immigration increases the risk for psychotic disorders.

My voices are from all over the Tellus - they include their country name at the end of the sentences, so if I’d move back to Estonia now, I could say F*CK OFF - this is my country.

I moved from NYC to Portugal 10 months ago. I actually like it a lot more. More space, more sun, less stress. :smiley:

I’ve been thinking and dreaming about moving to Mexico for a very, very long time and never doing anything about it. I’m still dreaming about it. I don’t have anything holding me back anymore except I get all of my health care from the VA health care system and I don’t know how I would get health care in Mexico. Does anybody know if the national health care in Mexico is available to foreigners? I have family there.

Yeah I left the country at a young age and live-in three different countries. It makes sense. Culture shock and new environment, new languages. It is not easy

I left Norway when I was20 to go live in Denmark. MY mental healtrh deteriorated afterwards, but that was due to the easier access to illegal drugs. Now that I’m off them, I’m getting a much better mental health treatment than I could even expect in Norway.

I don’t regret moving one bit, although adjusting to the culture and being away from closest family was rough at first.
