Why am I feeling so depressed recently?

I just moved to the UK from the States to be with my girlfriend (whom I love), and I really SHOULD be happy, but for some reason I find myself in this weird sort of funk, and I don’t understand why.

We’re currently living together in her parents’ house with her three brothers and one sister, all younger. I come from a family with only one brother, a bathroom all to myself, where I practically lived in my room and went out to see my friends. Here, though, I don’t have any friends other than my girlfriend, I don’t have a car, and I’m legally not allowed to have a job, so very little money as well. Trains can only get you so far.

The other thing is, I’ve put on a lot of weight in the previous year, and I feel really fat. I’m not that overweight, but it’s not where I’d like it to be. But with no money, I can’t really get to the gym. I’m looking to get a bicycle, but it would have to be really cheap, if not free.

I’ve found that taking a walk alleviates these feelings, but I don’t always get a chance to do that, as I’m taking two online summer classes that I need to take in order to graduate.

Anyway, I guess the reason for this funk is right in front of me, but it’s still a bit of a mystery. I’m normally such an easy-going, happy guy; I see the glass as half-full. What can I do to get over this and be myself again?

well you obviously pinpointed all your problems so the only advice i can give you is take from your listed problems and work hard fix them. you can work online or even do freelance! like post in the newspaper that you do odd jobs. i know that sounds lame but you can make some good money. use the money to buy a car, then you can go out and meet people! see, like a circle.

It’s a good idea, but I’m not legally allowed to do any work without a visa. Not in the UK, at least. The only way to make money would be working for USDs, but even then I think it counts as breaching visitation laws.
