It was a hard time at the first month after I moved to US.
I already have the experience to move to a new country when I start my life in Japan.I thought this time gonna be fine, but the first month living here just like a nightmare for me.
We have many events,many museums and many chances to meet up new people in tokyo. But here, the new place I just moved in is actually very countryside, wherever you go,you have to drive. yes,here is the problem. I dont drive,and I dont have a driving license yet. Everytime when I want to go somewhere,I have to ask my husband to drive me there. Its very hard to make your schedule because your schedule always have to be matched with others.
For making friends,its even harder. This small town dont have any facilities for recreation that people can gather together except church. the meet up group,the CS group I was used to use before are not very activity,then most popular one I can actually find something going there is in NYC where is 3 hours far from my place.
Also I have trouble with my job hunting,due to the location.
The most hard thing is when you open your FB,you see your friends having fun in Tokyo,what you can do is just sitting in the room by yourself and regret why you decided to move here.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having a tough time adjusting to your new life. Living in a small town can be difficult (I also live in a small town), but give it some time. Maybe you could try volunteering somewhere like the local library, senior's home, hospital, or church? Also, try to set little goals for yourself each day- for example, going for a walk, or talking with people at the supermarket or store, etc. If you like to travel, why not plan a short vacation for you and your husband to explore other areas where you live. And maybe you can start studying for your driver's license to give you more freedom. Just take it day by day :)
