How do you deal with re-entry (from the wilderness or backcountry)

Asked by aviona (3260points) September 20th, 2009

I recently returned from a 6-week-long backpacking course with a very tight-knight group of 13 people. I am now living in New York City for the first time in my life. Big change. Although I am fairly happy, I still can’t help but long for my days in the backcountry. I don’t want to completely obliterate the memories, obviously, but I want to be able to be a functioning member of society (however much I resent it).

Has anyone else every dealt with re-entry from a similar experience? Would you be willing to share you story and what you’ve done to cope?
Thanks.
