Anxiety about my future
I moved away from my boyfriend, family and friends over 4 years ago for a job. It’s going okay but I’m so lonely here. My job is going well but I don’t like it here. I have constant anxiety about getting things done so I can move closer to home. The constant feelings of anxiety from work, loneliness and sadness from being away from home are overwhelming. I keep trying to actively make my situation better but nothing seems to work. I used to be such a happy person, I wish I could go back to being that person.
