A 33-year-old Indian techie shared his struggles after returning home following seven years in the US through a viral Reddit post. Despite financial stability from US earnings, he battles weight gain, low motivation, and career anxiety, feeling inadequate compared to local peers without sufficient retirement savings. His active US lifestyle with hiking and sports has vanished, replaced by disconnection and lack of exercise time. Working remotely with flexible hours, he lacks local networks and direction to pursue entrepreneurial dreams. Recently married without children, the couple struggles to enjoy quality time together. Reddit users recommended therapy for possible depression, advised against peer comparisons, and suggested starting small with walks, local clubs, and prioritizing mental health during this major life transition.
