Isolated and upset

I am a 20 year old guy who has been trying to move to Brisbane for 2 years now, but always found saving a bit hard.


I have recently had to extend my moving date to 8 months from now when it was originally January 2025 and I’m so just tired and sad at this point. Quite frankly I don’t think it’ll end up being just 8 months either considering my money situation.

 

I am so sick of remote Queensland, it’s an utterly miserable nothing place. Anyone my age has already moved away but I’m still stuck here 2 years later. I want nothing more than to be in the city where things actually happen and evolve. I have no resources to help with my mental health which is steadily declining. I can’t date, can’t study, can’t just have friends even out here because there isn’t anyone like me out here. It’s just upsetting to see people out in more populated areas who are starting their careers, their relationships and their lives while I’m still stuck in this boring ditch. I’m done waiting and being lonely, I just wanna BE SOMEWHERE.

 

just don’t really know what I can do at this point, all I really CAN do is wait, and that is disappointing.

Hi welcome

 

When young I was in the Airforce but I was terrible at managing money mainly as I found out later I had mania... spend thrift. So with no real money left over due to debts it was a miserable position to be in, very depressing and I now list lack of money as one issue that plummets our depression into a even worse place.

 

So, do you have a car?. Do you have contact with any of the people that left your area and went to the city? Are you on unemployment or work? What mental health problems are you facing?  If you feel like answering those it would help.
