Facing loneliness in a new country after a breakup

im about to leave my home country in 3 days. i'm scared shitless about being in a foreign country again, this time as someone single. the loneliness is going to hit me like a bullet train. im so not looking forward to the non stop anxiety with a sprinkle of panic attacks here and there.

being terrified before a big change after my breakup, convinced the loneliness would swallow me whole. somehow the days became less scary once i stopped expecting myself to feel okay and just let each day be what it was.

i really feel the panic in this, and i’m wondering, is there anyone there you trust enough to call when the loneliness hits hard?

yeah my family but they might not answer the call due to the time difference since i always have my panic attacks at night

had that kind of move after a breakup, where everyone around you feels unfamiliar and you suddenly realize you’re carrying all that heartbreak into a completely new life. being alone in a new country can feel HUGE when you’re already hurting
