How any times have you moved

It's good that you recognize it. Don't run away. Do you see a therapist?

I've moved 38 times.

23 times as an adult.
Several big ones thanks to manic-y "great ideas".

Fun(?) facts:
6 of them added up to 15,000 miles (Each ranged between 1,300 to 3,000 miles.)
The rest were more reasonable distances.

Even since 2012, there have been 4, including 2 of the 3,000 mile ones (there and back again within 3 months, heinous mixed episode).

(Confession: some cut and paste. Didn't want to have to do the math again.)

15 moves (approx) in my adult life and have pretty much hated every move except one. Am in my present place only 4 months and hate it here and am planning to move again when lease is up. I am shocked at how many times other people have moved. I find it very traumatic. I would have liked to have lived in the same place my entire life, preferably the house I grew up in, which was sold by my father after my mother died. I wish I could get over fear and hatred of moving. Any tips? I have downsized my stuff and that has made moving easier. Through progressive adult moves went from 3 bedroom house with basement and garage to where I am now...a 550 sq. ft. studio. I have a terrible view (no view, just an ugly office building) from my balcony and windows and it is really depressing me. The smaller space is neat and tidy and I don't really mind it, although in my next move will go back to a one-bedroom. I have also learned my lesson. Never, never never go with a terrible view.
