It’s been 3 months since moving and I’m considering moving back, I feel unmotivated and struggling to find support. Im finding it hard to trust my gut, I’m not sure if moving is the right decision. </P> <P>I have been dealing with an eating disorder for the past 4 years and it’s becoming out of control, I’m not sure if it’s worth quitting work to seek help.</P> <P>Does anyone have any advice? Would appreciate it so much. </P> <P>Also has anyone else experienced depression/anxiety when moving to a new city? </P> Wed, 05 Jan 2022 06:34:03 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/eating-disorder-anxiety-moving-to-a-new-city-advice/m-p/25410#M4235 Louisezea 2022-01-05T06:34:03Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/eating-disorder-anxiety-moving-to-a-new-city-advice/m-p/25411#M4236 <P>Hi Louisezea,</P> <P>I'm so glad you posted on here!
