Why do I feel like this?

Bit of an odd question.

But basically, at home at the moment, going back to Manchester in about 3 weeks, when I am in Manchester I'll have college to do and to find a job, I'm looking forward to going back to Manchester, yet I know when I actually get to Manchester and moved in, I'll be feeling down, could even say have a form of depression for a week or so and miss home, but if I came back home, I'd be looking forward to going back to Manchester and so on.

Thanks
WIll.

    Will - You just need time to adjust to your surroundings again after being away. Who ever liked going back to school after the Summer holidays? :shock: Like you say, it only lasts a while. Easy to say, but perhaps you should try and get back into the swing of it quicker by going out more etc, and not being alone and letting any form of depression get the better of you. If the worst comes to the worst get posting on here, there's always afriend, or re-read Bhima's posts. :wink::lol:

    ... remember the line in Apocalypse Now, something like... "When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle"

    ... great film... Martin Sheen was actually having a mental breakdown during the filming of the seen and Coppola just kept the cameras running...

    ... my advice... JD ... hold the water... and remember its the best times of your life, and its a damn site better than the alternatives....

    Don't worry about it too much Will. I used to get that when I went back to uni; I'd spend a week feeling crap and then be fine, get on with it and enjoy it.

    The grass is always greener, but like mgcycleguy says - you're doing the right thing.

    I think maybe when I've done a good ride I might be used to it, that's one of the other things I'm really really eager to go for a ride in the peaks, the longest ride I've done on my own here is about 70 miles, rolling, when in Manchester it's like 85, if anything I reckon the peaks would be one of the biggest reasons for me to stay in Manchester.

    I know that whenever I've been forced to move location I've always made an effort to get out and about, get to know people, and generally be a "yes" man to going out and doing things. It's a great way to widen your social circle and thus enjoy life. Seize the day (as someone said)!

    the grass is always greener?? you might not even feel down when you get to manchester.
    worrying about how you might feel in 3 weeks time seems a waste of your good time laddie, now get out and ride your bike.
    Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

    Bliss - some said peaks and the whole forum didn't feel the need to go on a two week rant. 1 reason cycling forums might be better than climbing ones

    I think that may be because he probably meant the "peak district" which is not to far out of manchester.

    someone said get a Girlfriend, don't do that you may end up getting married, pets, mortgage, kids and before you know it cycling has disappeared and your belly has got bigger. Then you will need to come back on here years down the line saying which bike is best to get for under £500......


    on the upside, sex is a fantastic form of exercise and if you get lucky like me, she can cook too :D

    The short answer is that you have got the time to "feel like this". But you are going BACK, it will all be different because you know the score and have a clear set of priorities in front of you. Remember that you are now a veteran with plenty of experience to deploy to sort things out quickly and hit your stride early.

    Before you know it the end of November will be looming and you will be working your socks off! :lol:

    (Off Post) @AR was that music to make the hour on the plinth seem longer? :)

    I want a job, I was going around Manchester on Google maps yesterday looking at what shops to go in to apply for a job. No point even trying the Arndale center, you can't even ask in the shops they tell you to go to helpdesk.

    When I was a student, I lived in Manchester. (Actually, it was Salford, but only about 100 metres from the centre of Manchester so I thought of it as Manchester.) I spent many weekends coming over to Hebden Bridge on the train.

    Once I graduated, I moved to Hebden Bridge. Since moving here 23 years ago, I've spent most weekends staying here and not going back to Manchester - funny, huh? :wink:

    Actually my last post wasn't how I actually feel - i can't blame a place for how I feel. Manchester has its pros and cons like anywhere, and if I were to live elsewhere the constant factor would be me.

    Maybe the OP doesn't like change, or has other things going on that come out when moving to and fro. Best solution is to keep cycling.

    I had 3 stints working in Manchester. At the time, I wasn't sure if I liked it. Now I miss the place.

    When I'm not with my 3 year old son, I miss him. When he's driving me potty not going to be on an evening, he can make the old 'tilt button' glow.

    When I'm out on my HardTail, I wish I'd go the Susser out.

    We're never happy.
