I am having trouble getting used to life in Japan. I cannot keep up with the people at my company, and I feel anxious every day. Why is that?

• When you leave the place you have been living until now, there will be changes, such as language, culture and customs, and the people around you, which can make you tire easily, both physically and mentally.This is called culture shock, and it is something that can happen to anyone.

• You might not be able to speak Japanese very well, you might miss your family and friends, and the work might be hard. When these situations continue, it can cause mental and physical fatigue and make you ill.

• When things are hard or you are feeling sad, share your feelings with someone from your country. Making friends with your work colleagues and Japanese people and encountering Japanese culture may help you to get used to life in Japan.
