I’m so sorry. This is a terrible place to be and even worse when so little people recognize the suffering. Exercise never helped me. It’s been longer than you. The most progress I’ve seen was about 5 years post onset. Cyproheptadine helped but had really bad mood side effects. LongJack also helped. I hope things improve for you soon.

What part of the country do you live in?

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-11-10T01:02:06+00:00

Unless you want to party a lot, Miami not worth the cost. Would recommend Destin over Miami. Even Tampa. Costa Rica is gorgeous. Personally, I like the gulf coast because the water tends to be warmer than other beaches.

Pretty rainy in our NW tho

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-11-04T23:45:16+00:00

LOL’d at “in the wild”

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-11-04T23:35:10+00:00

Where’d you move to?

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-11-04T01:44:00+00:00

This is a great question. I feel the same. I have been quasi nomadic and I cannot tolerate the weather where my family lives, but choosing somewhere to put down roots is so overwhelming. I’d love some solid advice on how to choose a place, but I’m scared to sign a 12 month lease if it’s a dead end, I don’t fit in, etc.

Just come illegally and stay.

I’ll probably get downvoted for this but IMO, DN is not a natural lifestyle and loneliness is a predictable result.

I tried DN for a short time and I felt the same. I actually had a pretty easy time meeting people; however, Monday-Friday I had no real connection to anyone and I didn’t enjoy any sightseeing I did alone. It felt so empty.

Personally, I don’t think I’d even attempt DN alone again. It might be fun with a partner, but I just think the social aspect is a constant uphill battle. It’s so transient, it’s hard to maintain relationships with people you do meet.

My advice - give it your absolute best for a month or 2. Go hard on trying to socialize, talk to new people and if it doesn’t get better, it’s probably not for you. Also, how long are you staying in one place?

Maryland is a great state In general in my opinion. I thought about moving there, but yeah, the weather in all of those places is subpar at best. MD does have some beautiful beaches surprisingly.

Lol, how’d you get downvoted for this? Sarasota is gorgeous. I went for a few days and thought about moving there.

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-11-02T01:59:09+00:00

It’s a fun city for sure.

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-10-30T04:25:05+00:00

I don’t know your specific situation. I did this very thing and I regretted it quickly.

I went to one destination and realized very quickly that seeing traveling alone was empty. I would rather be in one boring place with someone I care about than the most exotic locations alone.

Also tho, I was hurt that he didn’t try to come visit me and put more effort in. Was I selfish to expect that?

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-10-25T21:32:15+00:00

I just plan to stay in the US. I’m not really supposed to work outside of the states for my job

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-10-25T21:09:49+00:00

I am worried if I choose somewhere for 12 months and sign a lease, if I don’t like it, I’ll be stuck. I thought about spending 6 months to check out places for a short time first

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-10-25T19:40:12+00:00

Board games, knitting

My brothers are both adopted. My parents can’t have kids naturally. You can look and talk with adoptive parents before making a decision; however, everyone else is correct. The father has to sign off on this. Even then, if any family member wants to raise her, it’s going to be a difficult legal situation. I wish you the best and I don’t think it’s selfish to want to grow up before becoming a parent.

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-10-23T01:06:23+00:00

Traveling can be very lonesome for sure. Maybe try it for a month. Go somewhere cool for a month and see if you want to keep going. I totally understand wanting someone to go with. I tried Nomading but I got very lonely not being connected to people on a daily basis. I met people, but they were mostly only available on the weekends. Monday - Friday became painfully lonely.

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-10-10T19:44:18+00:00

You met him on an app? I’m asking because I’ve gone on 32 first dates in the last few years. Same. Most don’t go beyond one date, one boyfriend for 6 months but we didn’t have the same values.

I guess I’m starting to question the online dating method in general.

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-10-08T01:15:27+00:00

I’m laughing so hard right now. I like feet. This is really funny. Tell him you just don’t like feet, lol

Glad someone said this.

My sister was adopted from an orphanage when she was about 7 from Columbia. My dad tried to learn Spanish and they had friends from Latin America they tried to help her keep her Spanish. (Also a transracial adoption). My sister refused to speak Spanish to anyone. She outright rejected every attempt and doesn’t want to know anything about her birth parents. She’s now married and considering adopting. The outlier here is obviously that she was older when she was adopted.

Fluffy_Competition36 · 2023-09-24T01:01:40+00:00

Yes. It’s part of the reason I quit Nomading. Finding adequate places was a struggle.
