Homesick/having second thoughts
Hi everyone
I started my first travel contract in Austin, TX and I’m feeling quite anxious/homesick and having second thoughts. I’m from Chicago and I’m so close to my family, have never lived this far away from home. I also get pre-shift anxiety so going from days to nights has been difficult. I’m having second thoughts about maybe going back home and finding a staff job again. Can anyone relate or maybe give advice?
Note: I don’t know anyone here but I love Austin, I’ve traveled with friends a lot prior to ATX so I decided to give it a shot.
Backstory: I initially had a contract prior in Denver and I got screwed over, my contract got cancelled cause the manager didn’t like me. I only had worked 1 shift and it was cancelled the following day. So this current contract is my second attempt/first contract but also my last chance at travel since my first experience was horrid so kinda scarred from that. Lost a lot of money on the move to Denver only to move back home, I wasn’t reimbursed whatsoever.
