Perhaps my username gives it away. I work remotely which allows me to move anywhere. With this is the downside of whenever I'm in a funk I'm convinced that I need to move to another city.
A few months ago I moved to a new town out of state (16 hours from where I was in another state) where I don't know anybody on impulse. Like I rented a place before I even got there. I've done this a few times. I'm not sure if it's a longing for something different. I'll think "this place sounds nice I'll try there". And I'm not put off by not knowing anybody. I've made friends in all the places I've lived in. But I get there and it's the same thing - "I don't want to be here - I want to live somewhere else". Instant regret. Which then triggers my depression / anxiety. It's a vicious cycle.
I honestly don't know what is wrong with me. It's not that I'm running from myself. And I hate moving. Like I literally HATE the actual act of moving. But it's like I don't think rationally when I'm in a depressed mental state and make these big life decisions impulsively. I have other instances of impulsiveness - moving multiple times across the country is just one example.
I love trying new places and meeting new people. But then my anxiety kicks in - "you're 35 and unmarried with no kids - you need to settle down in one place". It's quite exhausting emotionally to say the least. Was just curious if anyone else has experienced this in some capacity. I think my friends and family who have never left our hometown think I'm insane. And perhaps I am.. I just have no reasoning for some of the impulsive things I do.
