I'm going abroad on this Saturday for work. I feel uncertain and a bit afraid.

Greetings,

I have been thinking about this for quite some time and finally in the past 3 weeks I managed to arrange all necessary things for me to be able to work abroad.

I was hired through a recruitment agency for a warehouse job, which I applied to in the UK.

Now as time goes by I feel like I am becoming more and more uncertain about myself and the fact that I will leave my parents home, a familiar place, to go to work in a somewhat strange country(I've been in that town to work 2 years ago, had to come home because of Covid).

What should I do about myself to be more confident about leaving? How should I handle this kind of funny feeling of uncertainty?

First off my friend, congrats on the new fucking job! Fuck yeah! Also your feelings of uncertainty/being anxious are completely valid! What worked for me was envisioning the best thing happening and realizing I was moving forward with my life also realizing I’ve had uncertainty before and realizing I was strong enough to make it through it then, helped me realized that I can make it through it again and I’m strong! Remember my friend, you’re a strong individual see this as a positive thing! You’re moving forward and have a new job that’s a lot to be proud of! Sending love ❤️

Congratulations on your new job buddy!!! I understand doubt is a part of the journey. But i think once you start working everything will be fine. It's a little difficult to leave home. I left mine for 6 years for my education. I think you need to not bother yourself a lot. It's a feeling that is going to come to you before leaving home. And if you every meet anyone to reach out to you can always do it here

Heh, username checks out, you might some surreal strength with you!

I am convincing myself that it will be fine and have a good feeling about working there.

Just need to get there first!

Thank you so much for your reply.

I've done this several times. It's normal to feel apprehensive about it. It's a big step.

It's good you've already been to the place. That certainly will help finding your feet. Just remind yourself of your previous good experiences. You'll be fine.

Good luck with your move!

Trust me the first time out of the country is the worst but those are some things I did too settle me down. To date I've been to China like 6 times always look forward to the food. But you will find your thing.

[–]andrejmlotko[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I was always curious about british cousine and landscape and sights. Maybe I'll find my way to live there forafter!

[–]hhemric1 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

There ya go! Plus I figure it will be cheaper to travel around Europe as a whole then fly from the US so if ya wanted to see Ireland or Scotland or Germany or literally any European country your gucci.

How did this go for you?

I'd love to hear about your experiences as someone who also moves around a lot for work.

For what it's worth, I was extremely nervous about travelling abroad for the first time in my early twenties. Now it's become very mundane - but I can still pick out many things I enjoy about it. There's nothing quite like the feeling of being in a totally unfamiliar city, and the sense that you can do something entirely new there.

Edit: And of course reach out if you ever want to, I think I could offer a few tips on how to settle quickly into a new place. Off the top of my head, it helped really helped me to find an expat group (I used a website called InterNations). People who move countries find themselves in the same boat and quickly form mutually supportive communities. I hope you landed in your new role well, buddy.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
