I'm sure most of you have heard the saying, "Wherever you go, there you are." I've spent most of my life here in the south. Around 16, I decided I was going to leave someday. That someday never came. I fact, I live file miles down the street from where I grew up. I'm in my 30s now and still dream of getting away. I was hoping someday this feeling would fade. But it's only gotten stronger. I find it sad that I can't seem to build a life for myself in the city where I grew up.
I can't seem to find where I belong and I'm hoping a change of scenery will help. I want to know, has anyone actually moved to a different place and seen some improvement in their lives? Ideally, I should probably tackle my issues because I'm sure they'll follow me but I'm curious to hear others' perspectives. |

I moved from Southern California to Northern California ... General speaking quality of life improved, but it served no escape from my internal emotional problems, but that's bc I let it... I think as long as u move bc u want to start fresh and make an effort to put yourself first then of course improvement can follow. but if u move bc u want to escape, no change will follow, it's what I've learned in the last 7 years... I'm about to come to a crossroad much like u... move or not move... but my mentality will now be , what is best for me and this time I will make decisions that benefit me and my happiness.

I lived in OK for 25 yrs. I knew someone that lived in Nashville TN and would visit them. As a grew fed up with OK I knew I wanted to move. I made a game plan...decide where...visit...look for work and a place to stay. I didn't just up and move. I looked at places I had family bc I had kids. I went to visit family in Chicago and didn't like it. I thought abt TX but decided I wanted to be further away. LOL. I went back to Nashville for another visit and looked at a few places to stay. Then I registered at a few temp companies. I went back to OK and started sending my resume to companies in Nashville. I had made my mind up....I wanted to move to Nashville. I had a lease that I didn't want to break so six months later I moved. I had a place to stay and a job. I lived in Nashville for 12 years...went to college and got my BS. I did really well in Nashville. I was a lot happier than in OK. I have BP1 tho so I don't know if that makes a difference

I've moved around a bit, but the one constant that followed me every where was my mental illness. It would be better when I moved but always caught up to me in the end. Now I'm too old and tired to run anymore.
