I've heard some say a change of scenary can be life changing. I for one constantly fantasize about starting over somewhere new, just don't quite know how to actualize that fantasy.
Who knows. Maybe somone whos tried it can say if it actually works.
I feel similar I guess, I tend to distract myself with my RPG hobbie (the nerdy D&D kind) as a short term fix. It doesn't fix things, but I meet people and have an excuse to go out and do stuff. Perhaps as a patch of sorts you might get into some sort of hobby.
Nerd level varies
