Very sorry to hear that, Yorick ! And the following I've heard might seem trite, but what the heck:

1) The bigger a city is the more it "goes to extremes". Even though I myself have not made it myself to NYC I could imagine it to be the perfect example for that: certainly not a good place to be when you are in a gloomy mood, selective perception kicks in and starts to concentrate on all the extremely depressing, ugly and outrageous that is surely very easily found there ...

2) Homesickness is also a good sign, because it hits those the hardest who have really something to look forward to coming back to.

I am sure you know all of this better than I do, but sometimes and in certain moods we need to be reminded of the obvious ...

Good luck and take care !

Thankyou Ramon, o' lurker of lurkers
