Feeling generally lost in life

I've recently left an emotionally abusive relationship. I have no intention of rushing into another until I've had some time by myself. (He had moved on to another serious relationship within weeks of me moving out which added to the sense of him never really having loved me).

As a result, I have moved back to be with my relatives on the other side of the country (this means taking on some caring responsibilities but nothing too demanding at present).

I got another job soon after moving back. This job was temporary and to make it permanent I would have had to complete a course which would cost me 15k. I gave it a few months but during this time it became obvious that I would have very little training support there and to make matters worse, there was a member of the support staff(small office) who would shout at me quite regularly when the boss was out (which was often). Everyone else in the office had also experienced this but it seemed to be condoned. This had me in tears on several occasions and when I told this staff member I didn't like how he was behaving he started to cry saying he was only trying to help me!

I decided not to take up the training opportunity and as a result had to leave the job. I've always wanted to travel but the thought of doing so alone makes me a bit nervous. AIBU wanting to just up sticks and go and see the world for a few months as I just feel that I need a break for a while?

Travel, it will help you find you. A toxic relationship made me loose me and I didn’t really know what to do. I’m now a few years down the line and honestly happy. Take time for you you need it. It you need to chat feel free to message. Sending hugs x
