Hello again everyone.
I'm not usually depressed or down but lately i've been sleeping much of the time and i don't see a solution to my problem.
The problem is where i live. It's nice enough and quiet enough but i have a deep desire to move away to somewhere else. Preferably by the sea. I think i've been in this area now for nearly 20 years of my adult life and become bored. I yearn for the sea.
I've been to every place possible within a 50 mile radius of where i live and as is a trait of mine. I have become bored. Really bored. I don't think it would be so bad if in the gorgeous summers evenings i could head off to the beach or even in the harsh depths of winter see the sea crashing around but in both scenarios currently i don't want to go out. That would involve driving a few miles to get to the countryside which is all the same topography and no sea.
In the last few years i have been struggling with an auto-immune disorder as well as having HFA and i've not been able to work. My partner works.
Basically due to the cost of housing i am well and truly stuck where i am with no opportunity to change this and move on. I keep thinking that one day knowing i will die and purely because i don't have enough money i cannot fulfil a dream in life so i am living like a zombie each day because i am frustrated and have given up.
It's not like i can just get a job and then rent in the area i want to move to because of my disabilities.
I am aware that compared to a lot of other people in the world i am in a good position and i recognize and appreciate that but that doesn't make my feelings of deep sadness and frustration go away. I still yearn for that move.
I know that wherever i live i am unable to work so would just be stuck in the house / local area again anyway but i need the sea. It would really help. I am a 2 and half hour drive from the nearest coast. (UK).
I expect a lot of you are in unfavourable conditions and positions when it comes to housing and where you live and if so, how do you plan on improving this or if not how do you come to accept your arrangements as just how it is without intense bitterness and anger?
Have any of you managed to move to another area and it was the best thing you ever did and how?
Or have any of you really felt the need to escape where you live but over time have adjusted and have become ok with it and stayed?
Just interested in any thoughts / advice please. Thanks everybody.
