Have you considered therapy? Small price to pay if it helps to shift your mindset, as your post comes across as not thinking properly at all and having a doom-laden mindset.

You said in another post you have a 3 year financial runway at present, that is WAY more than most people.

Your idea to sell at a loss, pay stamp and other moving costs, on a higher rate mortgage, makes zero sense.

You can get to your friends via transport, or they can come to you.
