Ahhhh someone in Vegas! I lived there for 6 years and just moved away 8 months ago. I did like living there but I lived in Henderson which was so much more normal, however, I now live in a VERY small town in the south and things are so much better for me mentally. I knew about a year ago that I needed things to be much simpler....everything in Vegas is complicated. No one is in a hurry to do anything yet its nothing but go go go! I enjoyed my manic "shopping" days there and loved being able to cut loose on the strip- I know that wasn't healthy however.
This is where I'm supposed to be, I know it, the town is smaller and easier to manuever; I have an amazing T that I didn't have to wait months to get into and my pdoc is a bit of a drive but worth it. Things are much more simple now.
I know the pace and I loved the word "superficial" you used! They have no idea of the meaning there! I think if you use it in public they will just look at you like you are from Mars!!! Good luck to you. I'm not sure what part of the valley you are in, but if you can get away, there are many quiet places that you can go to. Boulder City has no casinos and even though Lake Mead is so low, it's nice to look at. If you are on the west side, there's always Red Rock and the Valley of Fire. You can message me anytime if you are looking for a place to escape temporarily.
