I just want to run...read on

[cyclist2]

Evening all.

Put a couple of threads up here now for which I`m very thankful for any answers :-)

Anyhoo, basically my life is shit and I`ve had it here, because:

1. I have heard from NONE of my friends since the start of the plague last year - unless I contact them, I`m doing it no more

2. The majority of my immediate family have passed away in the last 2 or 3 years, which was a massive kick in the guts and I still can`t get over

3. I hate where I live with a passion - see my other thread

4. My job stinks - I work in a dept of 50 of the most backstabbing, evil, two faced, venom spitting snakes ever imaginable. The work is tedious and thankless too.....

I just want to pack up my stuff and go. But, I have a loyalty to my Dad who is the innocent party here. I know he would be fine if I moved away (hes that type), but I feel it would be unfair to leave him, as we only have each other. Im also tearing my hair out about my life here in this part of the country - I can`t tolerate much more of it.

AIBU to run and start again?

What would be different if you moved? If you don’t like where you live you could move 20 minutes down the road rather than across the country.

Sorry things are so fucktangular for you; unfortunately its a curse of our time and you're far from alone. Everyone experiences these difficulties in their own way and its perfectly valid for you to feel the way you do right now. I don't have any answers to your situation but please remember that everything is transient and could look very different in a year's time. You have the smarts you need to make incremental changes that will put you in a better place, step by step. Keep your chin up and your powder dry and the world WILL turn.

Oh, and if your username is reflective of who you are, keep riding and let the mad out. Can you treat yourself to a different type of bike and do something you haven't done before, downhill MTB or something?

If you only have each other, would your dad move too? Why not go for a trial and see how it goes.
