I want to move away but I’m doubting myself? What should I do?

[Anonymous]

I’ve always lived away from family. I don’t fit in with them, they all live in a small quiet town, they all have the same interests and I’m completely different in interests and values etc. They tend to b*tch and gossip about things that happen in town and about others and I despite that for example, I tend to stay away from it.

Anyway, I went through something awful and it affected my mental health really badly so I came back to my home town to regroup. I’m managed it and I’m a lot better now. The happiest I’ve ever been. And I feel ready to move away, start over etc. but the only thing holding me back are my doubts. My family keep saying what happens if I struggle with my mental health and I’m on my own etc but it was due to a bad experience at that time. I’m worried and doubting if my mental health will struggle if I move away but at the same time I feel like I can’t start my life by living in my hometown. I care for my family but they can be very negative, judge and gossip etc, point out other peoples wrong doings but they never admit to their own and I hate that dynamic. What should I do? I want to move but I’m worried I may struggle with mental health again

Put yourself first. If you feel like moving away then do it. Have plan A, B and C. Just in case things don't go according to your plan. It's a natural thing to doubt oneself but sometimes you just need to make a decision and never look back. It might be the greatest decision you'll ever make.

Your never gonna know till you try, right? And it sounds like you could move back home if you had too. So why not take a chance? It sounds like you are ready for a change of scenery.
