    Relocation Depression: How to deal with it

    Relocating to a new place can be an exciting experience. It can also be a challenging one, especially if you’re leaving behind friends, family, and a community that you’ve grown to know and love. One potential consequence of relocation is what’s known as “relocation depression.” This is a form of depression that can occur when someone is struggling to adjust to their new surroundings and environment.

    There are a few key factors that can contribute to relocation depression. One is the sense of loss that can come with leaving behind the familiar. When you move to a new place, you’re leaving behind the people, places, and routines that have become a part of your life. This can be especially hard if you’re moving away from close friends or family members, or if you had a strong sense of belonging in your previous community.

    Another factor that can contribute to relocation depression is the stress and uncertainty that often come with making a major change. Moving can be a logistical nightmare, with all of the packing, organizing, and coordinating that needs to be done. It can also be financially stressful, especially if you’re moving to an area with a higher cost of living. And once you arrive at your new location, you may feel overwhelmed by the need to find a place to live, set up utilities, and get your bearings in a completely unfamiliar place.

    There are a few things you can do to help mitigate the impact of relocation depression. One is to try to stay connected with the people you’ve left behind. This can be as simple as sending regular emails or texts or using video chat to stay in touch. You might also consider joining a club or organization in your new community, or finding ways to volunteer or get involved in local events. This can help you build a sense of belonging and connection in your new surroundings.

    It’s also important to take care of yourself during the relocation process. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, eating well, and getting regular exercise. It can also be helpful to set small, achievable goals for yourself as you adjust to your new environment. This can help you feel a sense of accomplishment and progress as you get settled in.

    Finally, don’t be afraid to reach out for help if you’re struggling. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious, it’s important to seek support. This could be through talking to a friend or family member, seeing a therapist, or joining a support group. Remember, you’re not alone, and there are people and resources available to help you through this transition.

    In conclusion, relocation depression is a common and understandable response to the challenges of moving to a new place. By staying connected with loved ones, taking care of yourself, and seeking out support when needed, you can successfully navigate this transition and find happiness in your new home.

    At Gracehill Place, we offer virtual consultations. So, you can book an appointment with a therapist from wherever you have relocated to and get the support you need.

    PS: Japa is Nigerian slang. Part of what is now called the Naija urban dictionary. Japa is originally the Yoruba language for flee or run away but has gained usage in Nigeria (Naija) as a word for relocating abroad. e.g; japa from Naija to Canada.

    Grit For Achieving Goals

    Now that your New Year Goals are set. Let’s talk about GRIT!
    While setting goals is an important step in the process of personal growth and development, it’s equally important to have the determination and perseverance to see those goals through to completion. This is where grit comes in.

    Grit is perseverance and passion for long-term goals. True grit is defined as the ability to sustain passion and effort over a long period, even in the face of challenges and setbacks. It’s that inner drive that keeps us going when things get tough, and helps us to push through obstacles to reach our goals.

    So, how do we develop grit? Here are a few tips to get started:

    Focus on progress, not perfection. It’s easy to get discouraged when we don’t see immediate results or when we make mistakes. But it’s important to remember that progress, not perfection, is the key to success. Focus on making small, incremental improvements and celebrate your progress along the way.

    Embrace challenges and setbacks. Grit isn’t about avoiding challenges, it’s about facing them head-on and learning from them. When you encounter setbacks or failures, use them as opportunities to learn and grow.

    Cultivate a growth mindset. A growth mindset is a belief that you can improve and grow through effort and learning. This mindset helps you to see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than obstacles to be avoided.

    Find your passion. Grit is easier to cultivate when you are pursuing something that you are truly passionate about. Take some time to reflect on what truly excites and motivates you, and use that as the foundation for your goals.

    Seek out, role models and mentors. Surround yourself with people who are gritty and have achieved success in their pursuits. They can provide valuable guidance and support as you work towards your own goals.

    Developing grit is an ongoing process that requires effort and dedication. But with a little bit of focus and determination, you can cultivate the grit you need to achieve your goals and make your dreams a reality.

    Mental health goals for 2023

    As the new year begins, many of us are thinking about resolutions and goals for the year. While it’s important to focus on physical health and career aspirations, it’s equally important to prioritize our mental health. Here are a few mental health goals you can set for yourself in 2023:

    Practice self-care regularly. This can include activities like exercise, meditation, or hobbies that bring you joy. Make time for self-care at least a few times a week, and be sure to listen to your body and do what feels good to you.

    Seek professional help when needed. Don’t be afraid to reach out to a therapist, counselor, or mental health professional if you’re struggling with a mental health issue. These professionals are trained to help you work through your challenges and find healthy coping mechanisms.

    Set healthy boundaries. It’s okay to say no when you need to, and it’s important to set boundaries with others to protect your mental health. This can include saying no to social invitations when you need time to yourself or setting boundaries with friends or family members who may be emotionally draining.

    Learn stress management techniques. Stress is a normal part of life, but chronic stress can take a toll on our mental health. Experiment with different stress management techniques, like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or journaling, to find what works best for you.

    Practice gratitude. Focusing on the things we’re grateful for can help shift our perspective and improve our overall well-being. Try starting a gratitude journal or sharing three things you’re grateful for with a friend or family member each day.

    Remember, it’s okay to take things one day at a time and be kind to yourself. Making progress on your mental health goals may not always be easy, but it’s worth the effort. Here’s to a healthy and happy 2023!
    .
    .
    As always, our team of mental health professionals awaits to support you throughout the new year. Call Us on 08084047850 or 08029117580.
