I Hate Being Alive

Moving abroad is often painted as a perfect adventure, but today I wanted to share the raw, unfiltered reality of what happens when expat life hits a wall. From intense sensory overload during a simple grocery run to the exhausting reality of living in a noisy environment where peace is impossible to find, this is a look at the mental health struggles, severe homesickness, and isolation that come with living in Da Lat. In this video, I’m taking you along on a deeply frustrating day. Trying to navigate a chaotic supermarket filled with blinding LED lights and overwhelming noise triggered an absolute panic response. Combined with a living situation where constant noise from neighbors and landlords makes it impossible to find a single moment of stillness, my mental health has taken a massive hit. Relying on screens just to drown out the noise has left me feeling disconnected, drained, and questioning whether staying here is even possible. If you’ve ever felt completely overwhelmed by a foreign environment or missed home so deeply it hurts, I hope this video lets you know you aren’t the only one experiencing the dark side of living abroad. ​ If you have ever experienced severe culture shock, sensory overload, or intense homesickness while traveling or living abroad, please share your story in the comments.
