Is it possible you are experiencing reverse culture shock? Or what about homesickness?

After living in Germany myself for a year and then moving back to the U.S it felt like I was moving back to a whole new country. My whole American experience changed as a result of having lived overseas. Everything seemed different or foreign to me. It was a very odd experience and I ended up depressed in university for a year before moving again. In hindsight I realize I had been deeply changed.

So, perhaps you need to get to know a "new" Germany, a different one based upon the person you are now.

Also, moving in itself can be stressful, so try to be compassionate with yourself.
