I want to move

[Emma]

I want to move to another country.......in a year or two, I have lots of money saved up.....and I want to go somewhere and see where I can go and pretend to be a different.....how would I cope alone? and how hard would it be for me to do that? I just want to get away from here I just feel like I have to get out of here

Perhaps it would be better if you just relocated to some place different within your own country ?? The differences and adjustments you will have to face in a new country will be far more extreme and could just make things worse for you. Maybe look to get yourself some help and make some progress before you move so far away.

Emma,

I think I have told you before, my move away from home did me good. However that move was only a move interstate. Having also relocated (when I was small) from a different country to Australia. For me it was quite a culture shock.

So I definitely agree with Niles, you should consider moving somewhere within the country first.

you are totally right, goldilocksrocks. a few years ago i moved from the midlands across the border to wales and things just got worse, although i did moved with my mum and sister which helped.

before i moved i thought i could be someone else in the new place but getting away didnt help me at all, it was just a new place for me to be the exact same person. i guess the one thing that didnt help was the fact that i have an illness that affects what i can do, so i couldnt (and still cant) go uni or get a job or anything, and thats made me even worse cos its definately hurt my confidence and everything.

but my main point is that moving doesnt help. things have a habit of following you wherever you go. which sucks cos ive gotta move again back to england pretty soon.

i guess you have to decide what you wanna do but your problems will just end up following you.
