Do you ever feel homesick?

Question:

I'm really confused. Hear my dilemma: I went away recently to the island of Tobago in the Caribbean with my mom and I had a really great time. But sometimes, I just felt so alone. I can only describe it as this internal sadness that doesn't make me cry, but longs to be at home in a familiar environment.yet I didn't want to leave the fun that I was having.

Answers:
I've lived in a town for 14 years that I don't feel at home in , and can't wait to leave. I feel the most homesick for a city I lived in long ago . Chicago.

It's possible to feel homesick even when you're at HOME, like being out of place.

I often feel homesick. I'm sick of my old car and my job as well.

I have had similiar experiences:
1) When I went off to college for the first time
2) When on a wonderful trip to Chile with my boyfriend.

I'm not sure what the explanation is, but here are some ways I found online to relieve or decrease the feeling:
"Psychologists say that the best way to alleviate homesickness is to bring along "transitional objects" such as photographs or tape-recorded messages from family members. Those mementos can alleviate the uncomfortable feelings when people are away from home" (wikpedia).

this sounds like some form of depression.
you could get some profecional help.

I remember feeling homesick like that when I went off to college!
