I’m a 27-year-old Western male who has been living and working in China for three years.I have a good job and life here is challenging but enjoyable.However,recently I’ve been hit with wave after wave of depression and I can’t stop thinking:what the hell am I doing out here?My family,who I miss like crazy,thinks I should stay for my career.There’s not a great deal of work back home,and few of my friends back there enjoy the type of lifestyle I have here.Yet,still,I can’t shift the feeling that I ought to return home.Do I give up everything here and return to my native country,or do I carry on in the hope of reaching some level of satisfaction?
