    Yes. We just married last year... I feel lonely and feel like I'm always sick. I'm not like this when I was in dubai. It's so different here. I'm going crazy here.

    You need to identify as to what is making you sick. Is it the environment, the people, lack of friends, family, what? Identify it then you can address the problem.

    You need to get yourself a job or do some voluntary work if you don't need the money, this way you will meet new people and it will give you less time to dwell on feeling home sick and lonely. You need to be more outgoing in the UK than the Philippines, you have to mingle, I realise these suggestions of mine are easier to talk about than actually put into practice but I hear in your words that you need to do something to stop yourself feeling this way. You need to help yourself, hopefully your loved ones are supporting you through this period

    Hopefully one of the girls here at British Filipino will take the time to PM you and strike up a friendship with you just to get you over this period.

    I met my wife in Dubai and have been there many times and I can tell you that you can have a much better life here in the UK than there. I realise too that the UAE is like a little Philippines and you must have left many friends behind there, hence the need for new friends in the UK.

    I hope you sort yourself out, I don't like to hear of Filipinas struggling to settle here.

    Good luck young lady :)

    I am sometimes out of the country working too, even more of a reason to get a job, few nights out with the friends, before you know it you are integrated into British society. My wife worked in the UAE for twelve years and loves the UK.

    Its something you need to work on for your own sake, I'm sure there is a lot here in the UK for you :)

    I'm apply everywhere. The problem is the schedule of my son. He's still in nursery. It's not enough time to get part time job. And my husband not going to pay for childminders he said to expensive. And I'm 8 weeks pregnant now.

    In that case you are very limited, a job in itself looking after baby and the one on the way, in Dubai you could have had a Filipina nanny, my sister in laws there do.

    I feel for you young lady I really do, hopefully you can find some Filipino friends close to where you live although I know from experience that Maidenhead and Slough nearby is full of Eastern Europeans and not Filipinos.

    I hope you have at least family back home or in Dubai who you can Skype with if not just to have a good moan about the UK :)
