Should I start my life over?

Question

I know leaving my possible fate into a bunch of people online whom I will never meet may seem like a dumb idea, but I just need some advice.

My entire life has been a disaster. I am always depressed. I now have more online friends then I do real ones. I am 19 years old and I now live by myself. All my other family either don't like me, or moved. I lived with my mom and sister my whole life but they moved north last month and now I am renting an apartment. All of my friends are either in college, moved or have jobs.

Last year i recieved an inheritance. It's a lot of money and I could really just leave this country (America) and go someplace else. I don't really do much but I feel like I need a fresh start. Just to get away from my depression. Looking below I see a list of countries. Australia, Canada, New Zealand... ughh I just don't know what to do.

Answer 1

Answer 2

i know what your going through. all my friends are getting married, different work schedules, moved, etc. i dont have many friends and i live with my boyfriend. i would rather stay home and paint and be busy then go out anymore. my boyfriend has a lot of friends and sometimes i get jelous of that.

go to school? travel? pick up different hobbies? alot of people are not in your situation. i wish i had the money to do more. but im in the everyday work work work thing. enjoy life!! moving wont solve your problems.

Oh this is a tricky one. Should you stay or should you go. Why don't you go for awhile and see how you like it. You could always go back home and settle then, or you might absolutely love it wherever you go and never wanna go back home! The world is your oyster, go out and live, you have the money behind you, what have you got to lose! Come to Ireland, you'd love it here. ;-)

Technically that's running away from your problems- and they always come back to haunt you. You shouldn't just leave- however you could make some changes in your life. Maybe give yourself a new look- a new hair style- a few clothes- treat yourself to some lattes- relax- go to a spa. Once you treat yourself well then you can go off and find some new friends- go to night clubs, shop, do whatever you need to do to make friends. You can still have your online friends- maybe if you even feel comfrotable meet them. Maybe you can go visit your mom and sister for the weekend and go out to dinner. You need to make changes. Better choices, decisions and changes will help you and help your depression. It's okay to go on a vacation to Austrailia, Canada, New Zealand- but you're going to haveto come back home- and reality will set back in. Sometimes vacations are homes away from homes- but you will ALWAYS miss SOMETHING from where you orginal came from.

You can't "run from your problems". They will follow you wherever you go. My advice is to stay where you are, go to college, or get a job you really enjoy. Meet people there, and make friends. You don't need a "change of latitude, you need a change of attitude". I'm not being critical, just saying that you can't run from problems. Face them head-on, and rise above them. Good Luck!
