Hey there
new to this..
so I moved away from family and friends a couple of years back, was having a lot of fun at first. Made new friends had a fun job, and met my partner. However I started a new job last year and started studying at uni in the field related to my new job. Pay is terrible, so I had to move away from my new friends to be closer to work so I can afford to live. All I do now is work, study and see my partner, I can't afford to drive to see my friends and they don't every want to come see me because I live in a small boring old town where there isn't anything to do. I feel so lonely and have slipped back into depression and all I want to do is quit my job and move back to where I was living a before I started this new job. However it would be a massive step back in my career. I tried medication for 4 months but I had way too many close calls with micro sleeps while driving and have had a bad performance review a work. I don't know what to try next as I can't afford to go to a phycologist/psychiatrist. Even getting to the Drs is tough to get money together. If you had a suggestion of what I can do would be appreciated 🙂
