Why? I hate the state i live in, and I hate winter. I've burned a lots of bridges being crazy. Want a fresh start, want to try working full time because staying on disability and working part time is too hard to find a job that works around disability that's professional.

How should i go about it? I know my support system is here. Blah blah blah. But my child is nearly grown I'm free! I can finally live my life. Before I'm too old to actually live. I've tried applying to jobs out of state, but the one i was offered didn't pay well enough to cover housing.

Housing is always a concern. Move first, get set up with services, than apply? Or apply first? No place particularly in mind several ideas of where i could go. Is this just another crazy idea.

I'm wondering the same thing at the moment
I am currently living in a place where I have everything set up how I want, close to facilities that I need or am likely to use,have no real reason or need to move, but I want to move back to the city I was born in. not forany reason: I'll be doing the exact same thing I do here, (sitting and taking up space), and I don't have any family or friends in said city, and it's going to be really stressfull moving all the way (and packing), so why.

why go somewhere just to do what I'm doing now (basically wasting my life)

seems a bit pointless, yet: I still really want to move back

I guess I feel that way for myself. For a good while I felt content at the area I live in. But for the last few years or so, I have not been happy at a particular place I live at. I lived at a condo complex (in which I owned a unit) for 19 years and moved out of it last year. I didn't like it there in the last few years for various reasons. And then I moved to an apartment complex (renting now) that's 55+ a year ago. I liked it at first but now I feel like I can't stand it.

I want to move to a remote area and definitely want to move out of the state I live in for various reasons - high cost of living and the politics. I hope I will like it where I want to move to. I had planned to go to that area to look at it, but that Pandemic thing stopped me. I feel like I have had it living close to other people. The people at where I live are of no benefit to me whatsoever, but I feel like I have to put up with them.

My mom has become very demanding of my time. I have a nice apartment. I'm in a great location. Services set up, psychiatrist, medical insurance job. But my job is so so and I see people get up and move and I wish I would. I think i need to take a shot at doing for myself but when is the question.

I decided to apply to housing for disabled in the place I want to move there's a wait list here, likely there too and when it comes up I hope to be ready to go.

Work towards making 2021 a beautiful year for you, 2013 was my worse year to date, so many bad things happened that year. 2020 in terms of circumstances of the pandemic is worse, but better in so many other ways.

Do the things you love, and bear the things you hate.
