I feel for you, Calvacca. I find that moving is always hard. The first 6 months is the worst for me. At first I am awed & excited by the "newness" of everything, but then that wears off & it hits me - I live here! Sometimes it helps when I fly "home" to vist family & friends, but often that makes me feel worse when I return to my new town.

What helps me is just getting out. Think about the things you liked to do - walking in the park, eating at locally owned restaurants, poking about in the library - and just get out there & do it! Eventually you'll develop a little list of your favorite places in the area.

Another thing that helps me is knowing that I have options. I know that if for some reason things don't work out in my new town, I can always move. Oddly enough, I'm more likely to be content with where I am if I know that it isn't being forced upon me.

Hi, know how you're feeling I am a native Ny'er but moved to Raleigh from Ft Lauderdale about one month ago, it's no doubt rough adjusting I lived in Fl almost 30 yrs. in fact my wife is still down there hoping to sell our home ( not a great time to be a seller) I am here alone working and living in a small 1BR apt. shall I go on LOL ? What part of NY are you from ? I was born and raised in Brooklyn.....
I seem to like it compared to Fl. will be better when my wife joins me., guess time will tell it all, well best of luck to you !

Try Downtown Raleigh. I'm a Raleigh native, but I've lived in other large cities. Wake Forest is the country to me. It would take some adjusting for me also, because I've always lived inside the beltline. So don't think it's a north vs south thing. It's an urban versus rural thing. Trust me. I'm currently looking at moving to The Cotton Mill or Park Devereux downtown.
