You moved for the career opportunity, the work-life balance, the lifestyle. Nobody warned you about 4 hours of daylight in December — or how hard it is to meet people when Scandinavians aren't exactly known for warming up to strangers.
Up to 20% of people in Nordic countries suffer from SAD. If you're from a sunny climate, the risk is even higher. It's real, it's diagnosable, and it's treatable.
Lack of light tanks your energy, focus, and motivation. Your performance at work suffers. You feel like a different person than the one who landed the job offer.
Nordic social culture is hard to crack. Especially in winter when everyone retreats indoors. Finding community as an expat can feel impossible.
