My city makes me upset.

lol I know what you mean I live in Deerfield, which is like 40 min from Cleveland.. The city is really cursed.. Maybe the Indians can pull out a title this year? though its not looking good.. hah
Too bad about the cavs, I think that orlando is playing the best this post season and if the two best teams were chosen to play in the champs, It would be Magic and Cavs no doubt.

get better though man, I lived in lakewood for about a year.. i know how lame and depressing that area is..

I do believe there are areas or communities that are more positive or negative, but that it's possible to be happy wherever you live, depending on your circumstances.

I moved from a city I grew up in and really loved to live with my husband in another country and a completely different culture. It's been very hard, and I still miss my city and the climate in my country. However, there are good things here as well, life in the US is very easy and comfortable, the winters are mild, and we now live in a small, rural area where everyone knows each other and it's very safe. We also live close to the sea and beaches (which I also did at home), with lots of interesting wildlife.

There are lots of places where I could not live without wilting, I think... I can absolutely understand that someone may not enjoy where they live and want to move.

Are there areas that are not too far away from your family that you could consider moving to? Work opportunities or schools you could go to?

MrCleveland'
Sorry you feel soo down about were you live. I lived in Avon and worked in Euclid for a while a few years ago. I moved back to the sun and surf of Florida because there always seemed to be a dark cloud over Cleveland for me. Having said that I regret moving back. In Cleveland I had an awesome job and lived around my wifes close and supportive family. I thought moving back to Florida would fix the way I viewed things, boy was I wrong. I now live in the sunniest state in the country but still have a black cloud over my head. I have realized that the black cloud came with me and it wasn't from Cleveland and that's why I am starting this program. Hope it works for me and I hope it works for you, Cleveland is a great place with lots to offer.

I know this is an old post, but I can wholeheartedly relate. I live in a very depressing area also and would like very much to move away. The problem I have is where will I move to? Right now, I am trying to finish up a course I am taking up before I do so and hope that the job market will become plentiful enough for me to do that. Situation looks a bit grim right now.

This is an old post but I will answer anyway . I know how you feel I am from a small town in New mexico and I have always hated it New Mexico unlike many states does not have recognition for any sports teams probably beucase no one would be good enough to even make or create a team in the professional world. Everyone in this town is closed minded and often when wanted help I was turned away beucase I was not suicidal , homicidal or on drugs and or alcohol. I ran to emergency room seeing if soemone would intercede and theyd jsut give me prescription ativan and send me home. I questioned one psychiatrist who I told I took Effexor and although it lessened the anxiety attack intensity it didnt stop them I had only been talking medicine for less than a week when he bumped me up to 75 mg then 150 mg within days of each other . I often didn't get to see the doctor i was supposed to but saw his nurse practitioner and his new recruited doctor who thought i was a bother and didn't listen to my symptoms and or concerns but just prescribed risperal. The doctor who is the director of the center I go for treatment called me and had never met me but said out of his dumb mouth " I talked to everyone here and I think you need to stay in the hospital , I got you a bed ". He had never seen me before never talked to me and mind you I had been to other hospitals in the las cruces , Nm , El Paso, Tx area and none wanted to admit me when I wanted to be because I wasnt severe enough meaning not suicidal. Do I have to be? I dont think so. I called a hospital and spoke to a doctor in Albuquerque who was astonished at the treatment i had recieved. I mentioned the audio equipment for this program and the doctor said he has had patients on the program with a high success rate and that hes seen very few not succeed with it but it was a matter of them not working hard or wanting a quick fix. He explained liek lucinda does that anxiety and depression a re not a quick fix and requires cognitive behavioral therapy . I think that physicians shoudlnt be quick to dispense a prescription and treat these disorders the way the flu or cold is treated because even those illness lie dormant and come back at least the flu does. It does not go away if you dont have the coping skills.
As far as moving well i moved around a lot due to unhappiness and even though i was happy for a short tiem in the new place there was always soemthing to make me irritated or anxious or depressed usually people and there quick fixes or lack of compassion especially in lso angeles

you all should come move to the NEw England area. We'll lift your sports spirits. ITs so fun to have winnign teams. Not rubbing it in. THe Cavs might just do it next year now that they got Shaq to play with Lebron.
