Hello,
Do any of you have 'moving cities' stories to share with the board ? How tough was it ?
I have actually moved cities a couple of times, the first time was a breeze, the next time I wasn't so fortunate. Its so hard to make new social connections in a place where you know no-one ! I believe this has really exacebated my depression...but at least taught me to face my fears and get treatment.
I'm planning to move again by the end of this year and I'm hoping to find happiness ! I'm hoping this will be a 'clean' break in my life. I just need to know that I won't be so lonely again...I know no-one can predict this!
If you've moved before how did you make those social connections ? Did they last?
The first place I moved to was easy because I moved to College, where everyone is trying to make friends and there is a structure to life, but without that how does one go about making new friends ? I know all the normal stuff like 'join a club' anybody got any original ideas ?
Thanks Janejj
ps, sorry about the ramblingness of this post !
