Sadness and anxiety

Sadness and anxiety

Hi I have been in a really stressful relationship so I have moved to another town to get away.My anxiety if through the roof and I don't know anyone here. I think I made a mistake in leaving the town I was in but I did not know what to do and now I am wondering if I should go back to my own country and get support from my family and heal as I seem to be very vulnerable and really need support.

Hi @Nahtanha and welcome to the forums

I'm sorry to hear about what you've been going through, it sounds like a very isolating place to be in. Do you have any supports in this country that you can reach out to while you make the decision weather to return to your family?

Please know that you're not alone, we're here to support you

Hi @Nahtanha I bet your family would love hearing from you and can you give them a call?

Sometimes we can find strength just by hearing love ones voice for the day 💞

Thanks for your reply. I do have a few good friends in my old town that support me it’s just a hard decision to make. Part of me wants to just go back to the town I left but I don’t have a job to go back to right now

Thanks for your response. I call my sisters daily it does help but I feel I need to be with people in person sometimes.

I’ve been trying to go over the decision with pros and cons and they end up equal so I just have to make the best decision I can right now

Re: Sadness and anxiety

hey there @Nahtanha moving away from the people and place you know to somewhere new and unfamiliar definitely sounds overwhelming, but also is such a brave decision to make.

that fear you feel doesn't mean you made a bad decision, it's totally normal to feel unsure and anxious when you're starting new - and it sounds like you've got some great supports like your sister that you can talk to anytime. i agree with you, talking on the phone isn't the same as face-to-face interactions, is it possible to meet up with any of them soon?

if not, making new friends is always an option - sometimes there are community centres/local events or maybe even clubs and support groups where you can connect with people?

you've also got the online community here, you can always reach out and chat with us!
