Hi All,
New to this forum and could use some help. I moved to a different state to get my career back on track and I guess I was thinking; a new start would bring me some happiness. Quite the opposite, the job is ultra hard & stressful. I havent made one friend and I'm totally miserable. I know I've suffered with ADD, depression & anxiety for a long time. I am seeking help and I am on med's.
Things are getting worse and I know I'm real close to losing my job, which I hate anyway. I stay to myself and never go out.
So, that's my story. Can anyone relate? Help?

Cam66 welcome to PC. You are not alone. Having made many moves to escape situations I found they kept following me wherever I go. The problem was not the area I chose, the problem was I brought my biggest problem creator wherever I went, MYSELF.
When things are not looking bright outside, there is a quiet place inside that I can go to and just rest and listen to my breath and let my mind go empty. Sometimes I even just fall asleep. I probably need more sleep.
Sometimes I go to youtube and just do a free yoga session online and I get new energy.

From a practical standpoint, it would be good to try to put together a nest egg so if everything falls apart and unemployment isn't enough to live on, you can either keep going till you get another job, maybe even one you could like. Or if mom and dad are open it might be time to head home and make peace with those unresolved issues with them if they are minor. Major problems like abuse, I wouldn't advise going home.
Basically have an escape plan in case everything falls apart. I once had 4 big boxes and a suitcase with all my belongings on a bus ride to my next city. Arriving with no money is not a good option. I always managed to save a $1000-2000 which was barely enough to prime the well in good economic times. Check out where you are heading on the computer and see if they are a good employment option and how much housing costs. Also how are support services there. Maybe there are support services where you are.
Well most of all try to find a place where you feel okay in your own skin.
