27 yaşında yarım kalmış hayatımı bırakıp hiçbir planım olmadan başka bir ülkeye taşınıyorum
Son 6 yıldır bir araba parçası deposunda çalışıyorum. Büyüdüğüm banliyöde yaşıyorum, liseden beri arkadaşlarımın çoğu aynı ve covid başladığında üniversiteden ayrıldım.
Her zaman depresyon ve ertelemeyle mücadele ettim ama bu son birkaç yılda gerçekten çok şey yaptı. Bu alt gruptaki birçok insan gibi ben de şu anda hayatımda herhangi bir konuda tutkulu olmayı veya kendime güvenmeyi zor buluyorum.
Annemin Japonya’dan olması nedeniyle Japon pasaportum var ve ailesini orada yaklaşık bir düzine kez ziyaret ettim. Oldukça paslı olmasına rağmen dili konuşuyorum. Ağustos ayında bir gün bir hevesle F it dedim ve Tokyo’ya bir uçak bileti alıp kendime bir yer edindim. Kaybedecek hiçbir şeyim yokmuş gibi hissettim.
Artık randevuya iki haftadan az kaldı ve kesinlikle korkuyorum. Kimse böyle bir şey yaptı mı? Nasıl gitti? Bunu yaparak tam bir kriz mi yaşıyorum? Üzgünüm bu daha çok bir rant.

I actually know a few people who did versions of this. Based on their experiences, I’m going to say make sure you dont need any extra visa to work; most of the people I know who did this the way you did, and not through something like randomly signing up for a teach abroad program, ended up not able to find work and had to get help getting enough money to get a plane ticket home.
Aside from that, how exactly do you think this is going to fix any of the issues that you’re having? Theres nothing wrong with moving if everything lines up and you can get a job, but a new country wont suddenly make you not depressed or make you stop procrastinating. You wont magically have new friends. The scenery will be different, but you’ll still be the same.
This sounds fucking awesome dude. Looks like you have all the right boxes ticked (know a bit of the language, Japanese Passport) to make this kind of decision. In the perfect position to integrate there long term if it seems like a good idea.
But seriously man you’re young, if you get there and give it a go and things don’t work out, you can always go back home and even try another state or suburb
If you can stay with family and you’re able to get a job, why not? Life is short, and we should make the most of it. Definitely go live in another country. Have fun.
You’re probably just scared of the unknown. But this would probably be good for you. It’s good to have many different experiences in life. You’ll learn a lot, and come across opportunities and such that you’d never dreamed of. You’ll be fine after you’re there and get used to it.
I’ve traveled to 37 states and 8 countries by myself. Traveling has been the best experiences of my life, and I don’t plan on stopping.
No matter where you go, you bring yourself with you.
You will likely feel better in the first few weeks to months of being there, as there will be a lot of novelty for your brain to absorb. Long term however, unless you face what causes your depression & procrastination in yourself, it is likely your old habits & feelings will return.
If you can get a good job there, then it could be a good fresh start although wages are fairly stagnant & a lot of jobs have quite an unhealthy work culture with long hours expected. I don’t personally know how you search for jobs over there but it would probably be a good first stop to ask your family over there where you should look. Tokyo is a fairly expensive city so I would make sure you have a budget & savings pot to contribute to.
It could go either way. I would take each day at a time, be very mindful of your spending, make sure you have a weekly budget & savings for medical emergencies & try to savour & enjoy your time as much as you can, including during your job/job searching.
Best of luck to you. If things go wrong, at least you can sell up & leave again. But I earnestly hope it goes well ^^
Go live my friend. You’ll be ok. It will be hard, but you’ll be ok. Fear and anxiety is a good thing. You should be second guessing yourself. That’s not a bad thing. But have a plan. My understanding is that Japan isn’t as forgiving to those without one, especially depressed procrastinators. So it might help to have some kind of plan. It doesn’t matter if you visit or vacation often. You’re going to be part of the working class in a society you really don’t know. One where standards and education matters a lot. Hopefully you’ll have some kind of support from your family relations there. Worst case scenario, come back. You’ll be ok, but try to work on yourself, because geographic changes don’t have the same influence on changing personality and behavior with adults as they do on kids. Maybe you will find fulfillment – comes down to your expectations. One can only keep searching!
Have some fun, discover new things, and work hard 👍
Do it. What’s the worst that can happen? You come home broke. The best is a whole new life. Worth the risk.
You’re making everything harder for yourself by moving. I’d turn back and really sit down and think things through. It’s not like Japan is known to be welcoming to foreigners.
