Hi, I’m here because my family is moving. I really don’t want to move but I have to because then I won’t have any place to live. Ive moved three times in my life so I know how it goes. Every time I move I am forced to leave something behind. Most often a friend or a place that I cherish. With each move, I experience loss and have to learn to let go all over again. It takes time to get back to my normal self. If I am lucky my family finds a safe place for us to move to, but once that was not possible and we have to live in the bus terminal for a short time. This was my least favorite place to live. I liked living in Detroit, and also lived in Chicago and Tallahassee. I dream of moving to Nevada, or somewhere in Northern Texas. Are those dangerous places to live?

My family doesn’t get why I am so sad all the time and they always tell me “Brush your teeth, eat your vegetables, don’t stay out too long or you will catch a cold”. Blah blah blah, I know that mom, you’ve told me that before. That’s why I want to live somewhere warm. Because I hate catching colds. They tell me what they think so often, I feel like I have no room to grow. Day after day I hear the same harp, and its piercing. I am suffocated from my basic needs and feel like my mind is a sponge and i can’t keep anything else in it. I feel stuck, I can’t move or breathe or shout. I don’t want to move again so soon. I guess I am just sad about it.

Hello isotrope: Thanks for sharing your concern here on PC. I see this is your first post. So... welcome to Psych Central. I noticed you already have 4 posts to your credit. (I know I already replied to one of the others.) So it appears you're finding your way around PC well. I take it, from what you've written, you are perhaps a teen? Assuming that is the case (hope I'm not out in left field on this) one additional forum, here on PC, that may be of interest to you would be the Teens' Lounge (no adults allowed!) Here's a link:

https://forums.psychcentral.com/teens-lounge/

You may also find the school & study issues to be of interest:

https://forums.psychcentral.com/scho...-study-issues/

And then here are links to 2 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that offer suggestions for coping with your emotions as a teen & for managing depression:

Techniques for Teens: How to Cope with Your Emotions

8 Tips for Teenage Depression

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

I'm so sorry you're struggling, isotrope010 I know what you mean. It must be pretty hard to live like this. Do you know the reason why your parents move so often? Is it for work reasons? Either way, I'm so sorry. I'd suggest to talk to them about this and see how it goes from there. Hopefully they will understand and try to help you overcome this sadness. Tell them that you'd like to see a therapist. Maybe that could help. I'm so sorry please don't give up. Things can and will get better. You can do this! You're strong, I'm sure of that. Feel free to PM me anytime. Let me know if I can do something to help you. Wish you good luck! Let us know how it goes. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this

I was sad when I moved from my childhood home.

on one hand, I knew it was an end to the physical abuse from my family (and that's a bonus in itself), but on the other i'd come to know it so well- the room, the surroundings, the area, i'll never forget when people came round to look at the house and wanted to see my room, I exploded in anger and slammed the door.

I never admitted that I was sad to move, I'd just try and hide it (though the tears did come eventually).

I hope where you move too is just as good (maybe even better) than where you are now

just think: a new chapter in your life. it might be good. you might meet new people, come to love the area, you don't know

my second place I got evicted from.

it was less sadness that time, more worry and not knowing what was coming next
