I’ve been having a lot of difficulties with anxiety especially when getting home from work. I woke up this morning and had a really hard time and cried twice because of overthinking and not wanting to bother my friends. I went on vacation to Miami and looked at job openings around the area for my work. Found one that is in my hometown area and am really interested. I asked my boss about it and he said it may hurt my career because of a promotion comes about they may think I’ll just want to move back home a year later. I’m not happy, have periods of extremes sadness, quilt, tired all the time, hard to fall asleep or wake up, body aches, and trouble making decisions. Every time I think about it my thoughts circle and circle in my head. I know I need someone to talk to but I feel like I can’t ask for help every day. What do I do? And is the right move to move back home and risk my career advancement opportunities? Will I be happier near my friends and family or will I be just as unhappy? Another issue is that I’m on probation and would I be able to transfer probation to a different county? I need something to go good in my life. It keeps on getting worse and worse..

I've learned that you can't run from depression. It doesn't matter where you are or how far you move.. or if your friends and family are there or not.

But I could be around them more and not feel as isolated. I only know a couple people where I live now and work long hours late into the night. The job back home would likely be 10-8 rather than 1pm- at least 11pm. And I could have a roommate whose my best friends since the 1st grade. I feel like if I could be around more people, I’d be more likely to meet a girl as well and could be a happier and more likely to talk and not hold everything in.

Well then, there you go. You've figured it out.

Just trying to get second opinions. I over analyze everything. Wouldn’t want to throw everything away to be just as depressed.

Whichever decision you make will be the right one..lmarie is right. You can't run away from depression..Go with your heart..though sometimes things don't go as planned..

Sounds like you need to go where you have support.. jobs Wil come and go but your job is not worth risking your own well being.

Trust me I am in a similar boat. My family has been supportive.. if it werent for them I could be a lot worse off right now...
