COULD THERE BE A LINK BETWEEN LONELINESS AND THE TIME NEEDED TO ACCLIMATIZE MYSELF TO A NEW LOCATION?
Whenever I go to a new place I feel homesick at first, and a sense of loneliness is a key part of the phenomenon.
How long have you been alone (in days!)?
Is it possible that there is a link between how long depression takes to recede when I change my social environment, and how long it takes before I start to feel "at home" in a new place? Is this the mysterious third factor I have been searching for in the last part of the Outstay Program?
Date, intensity, distractions..
