Moving home can be a wholly exciting prospect for many, especially if relocating to a new area. However, this excitement can soon wear off and, for some, is replaced by a feeling of regret, questioning whether the move was the right thing to do.
This is a common feeling that in most cases soon goes away. However, for some, feelings of regret lead to what is often called ‘relocation depression’ which, in severe cases, needs the support of mental health professionals.
There are many reasons why people feel regretful. When you move you lose social connections near your previous home and are away from friends and family. There is uncertainty about adapting to a new location and a new job. Your established home routines are disrupted. The move was physically and mentally exhausting.
Fortunately, regrets about moving are usually short lived and go away as you settle into the new home, make new friends, explore the new area and make your home environment reflect your personality with items art, cushions, rugs and photos.
If feelings of regret persist, a therapist may be able to help, either in person or online. It is even possible that your regrets are well founded, and moving home was a bad decision, in which case you need practical help about your options, not necessarily mental support.
