i feel like i need to be somewhere else im not happy in one place like im searching to find where i belong or who i am why???

Finding where you belong is sometimes very difficult. I am sorry you are suffering.

Usually when I want to be somewhere else it is because I am anxious. I will feel tight in my chest, heavy and antsy. Is that what you are feeling or is it something else?

Oh I think I know the feeling. I feel that all my life. Feeling like I just don't belong anywhere, I'm just kind of drifting and floating around and finding nowhere I'd want to be landing on. There's always something else I'd rather be doing, somewhere else I'd rather be... the worst part is realising my powerlessness to change that.

That could be anxiety, as kecanoe suggested. Lately I've been putting that down to anxiety too, after researching and reading other people's accounts of their journeys through anxiety and depression.

Anyway, I'm seeking help now and hopefully I'll manage to live with the feeling better than before. And I hope you can find help, too.

Before I got sober I used to feel that way all the time, and I moved around a lot. Usually didn't live in one place more than a year. Now that I'm sober the feeling has lessened somewhat (I'm no longer moving around unless I absolutely have to) thought the wanderlust is still there. For me it's wanting to explore my natural surroundings. I think the natural world is beautiful and I want to see it all while it's still here. I know logically, though, that travelling presents too many implications for me anymore to be truly viable, but it's nice to dream. Needless to say I can spend a lot of time on Youtube and using Google Image when the mood strikes me.

It took me 54 years to find my place in life. Grew up with parents that embarrassed me to death & constantly fought with them. Got married to a guy I stayed with for 33 years which was just a continuation of the hell I felt with my parents & fought constantly with him. I thought by that time it was me who had the problem until I left him. Moved 2100 miles away to where I knew no one...start over time. Figured if the problem followed then it had been me all those years....if not I could do a clean start over.

I wandered to the perfect place..surrounded by the most wonderful people & have found out all those years it wasnt me who had the problem but I had become dysfunctional trying so hard to function around dysfunctional people all my life. God definitely guided me to the perfect place in my life to grow & learn starting at the age of 54, love where I wandered to. Have been able to find the me that seemed lost all my life & loving it....never too late

Maybe where you are isn't a good fit for you, it can be tough to just pick up and move, but if you think that you are being called somewhere else try doing some traveling. Do some research and visit places that meet what you want or if you have the freedom go for a road trip and see where it leads you.
