I've been thinking for years, that i've been living in my same hometown for 34 years, and wondering if i've settled on being here.

Anyone else had these thoughts or feel a major change of scenery may help with things and giving a shock to the system with your depression?

A potential may be coming up for a move to another city and I'm wondering if that is a good idea right now.

I have been through 7 cities over the last decade or so. With each move comes a burst of excitement but that tends to wear off after a couple of weeks, then all the anxiety of meeting new people and finding your way around a new town

:dizzy: Hi

Im wondering the same myself in fact its all iv been thinking of for the past 2 weeks weighing up the options.Do i stay in the comfort zone or go and get the buzz of a newlife, i cant help associating my depression to were i am and think a change might give a spark back, but cant help wondering i take myself and depression were every i go or maybe i would benefit.Honestly dont know what to do but then again i cant make the simpilest decision part of my depression.

It boils down to follow your heart or your head what you think might give some happiness you can always go back if it dont work out.

i've lived here all my life. since a kid. i'm 43 now. never even moved out of the house. we had to help with my parents...going to doctors etc when i was younger. now that they are both gone i feel like i have a life now. i'm not saying this is your life at all. just me. i've never had the desire to move but we are now thinking of it. our neighbors are all moving or have passed on and its not the same anymore. but still how does one move from a life time of memeries. we, my sis & i live together, want to eventually move when we retire. ya, its not far away believe it or not now days.

its like the other say...follow your heart. if your a believer in God then pray about it. He will never lead you wrong. i know that easier said then done esp when dealing with depression. i am and its a minute by minute struggle just doing little things. i coulnd't emagine making a major move now...for me anyways. :eek:

You said, it's not probably my situation, but it is very similar. I've actually moved back into my childhood home to live with my 76 year old mother and her grandniece she has custody of (helping w/ financing, security, etc..). I've had a divorce and a little instability in residences (good friend that cheated on his great girlfriend every other week in our apartment, etc.) in the last few years, so this arrangement seemed good. Also, in this time I've been able to purchase a rental property, which has always been a goal of mine to get into.

Sometimes I just think this "apartment area", "flat", whatever you want to call it that I have in my personal place at the house makes me feel like after 34 years, I'm back at square one.

Well, I have a friend who wants me to get her my resume in her town at the beach, and I'm thinking hard about that change.... We'll see.....
