I've had a tough few months, I broke up with my long term boyfriend and I've had a really hard time in a job I started a few months ago. I am still adjusting to not having my boyfriend, the main problem for me is the loneliness and emptiness I feel. In general I feel so unfulfilled.

I decided I'd had enough of feeling this way and booked myself a one way flight to Australia. I am excited and in my head this is the fresh start I so need but I'm also worried that by doing it, maybe I'm just running away from my problems. I can't decide if this fresh start is a good thing or a bad thing. On paper it sounds good but what if I get there and just get sucked into the drinking culture, what if it's like a big holiday and it forces me not to face the emptiness that's always there?

I just wondered what people on here think, could this be what I need or could it be bad for me?
