I feel for you and I know you have left a really vibrant city having been a visitor to NY on many occasions. You really couldn't have come to the UK at a worse time, pandemic aside, we are going into Winter and our winter weather/dark nights in the UK is usually nothing to write home about. Manchester is well known for its rainfall and that in itself is depressing. You know very few people, you are currently without employment but you have a boyfriend who sounds as though he loves you to bits, you are getting to know his family and the cheesecake has made a great impression at the American diner. All positives, stick at it, I am sure you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Feel free to pat yourself on the back Somewhere I felt welcome you and your friends have pushed me away. You must be so proud.
I wouldn't care even if I thought you were making it up: somewhere, sometime, there's going to be a really homesick person looking for help and support here, and they might stumble across your thread and find our responses helpful.Signature removed for peace of mind6
