Apologies if this thread is sounding very woe is me. Feel free to move it to the swamp.
But I am suffering and need some guidance to be honest. I do EE 1-2x a week, I do the crystal connection at least 4x a week, my diet is decent, I actually do make time to help other people, I study. I’m just stuck here. I am honestly miserable and it is rubbing off on my kid. He needs a community and I can’t seem to find it where I am.
Hi I'm going through a similar dilemma and also find it hard to make the right decision to find clarity on this, as moving is always so stressful, and /or making these kind of big decisions, personally find can put me in a right state. Probably cause I've made a good few bad ones! Ended up living where I am now when in a relationship, my plans were built around it and after it ended, am finding that living here (on a boat alone) is pretty tiring when I'm in full time work etc - and I've got to get back to work asap. Finding work around here isn't great either.
It's a beautiful place so there are definitely many things to be grateful for.
Although there's loads more stuff to do regards to little jobs etc. Also when it freezes during the winter there's no water as the pipes are outside. And it's goin to freeze pretty often as I live in the North West of the UK so I'm def with you on wanting to live somewhere more hospitable!
So that's just me and cutting a long story short..
What I did find was that deciding where to go and how to go about logistically etc it was overwhelming. It also helped when I talk it over with friends and family, maybe there is someone who can help to make a decision wether to move.
I also had this thought about moving last year then gave up after it became too overwhelming to think about, as I've moved all over the place for various reasons the last few years and know that's it's a big thing to do. So I really understand what your going through. Def understand that moving doesn't necessarily solve the problem if done for it's own sake or the wrong reasons, (as I've also made this mistake), but also sometimes there may be some sound reasoning and basic things that are really important that you may need, and in the case that a current living situation doesn't provide them, it could benefit someone by moving. But it's also a massive step to take and I'm not taking it so lightly this time, so if at all possible, I'll NOT be making another big mistake. And if it means I change my mind and stay, then I'll find a way to manage either way.
Main things for me are being nearer to family, hopefully cutting down on the long list of little boat jobs, and being closer to somewhere I'm more likely to get a job.
Sometimes I'm still unsure, so it's really not easy to make a decision and definitely I'm in no way trying to say to you what to do as that's your choice, i guess I'm just sharing my thoughts as I'm going through a similar thing and finding it difficult also..
Just going look at all the options and not make a rush decision and make sure that at least I've explored many possibilities instead of just jumping in and going headlong which got me into this situation (amongst others), in the first place! And just be patient with myself..Sometimes that helps.
I find that worrying about it just causes overload sometimes also, so taking time out of constantly analysing it, and finding time to walk, meditate or work toward goals, and focus on others is good. But yes, it's not an easy decision. And focusing on the positives could help, like you said that finding work for you is not big deal, and that's great.
I tell myself that well, if i make another mistake then will learn another harsh but valuable lesson..Which I'd rather avoid if possible lol but there's always gonna be some risk to doing anything that's an unknown I suppose. This time I'm going to do a lot more research, before making a decision.
Anyway I hope you find clarity soon best of luck.
