Long-termers, how do you deal with being homesick?

[Gringoboy]

I know how you feel Citygirl. Been here 5 years and homesickness is only a moment away.
Keeping busy helps and also planning the next visit home does as well.
I try to look forward all the time, but I must admit that I don't want to spend the rest of my life here...sin duda.
Home is where the heart is may sound an old cliche, but it does apply.
Keep your chin up and let us know how you get on.

Homesickness isn't a problem if you have an awful family who never supported you even from 9 years old.. then you can just enjoy life and not worry about anything. But obviously it makes for some other deep psychological problems
