I'm very happy to read your posting this morning. You struggled for a long time and now, you've rediscovered yourself and your world. This a huge step for you and guess what? You made it to the top of the mountain and can see the world with a clearer view.
I like the idea that you traded in the car and got what you wanted...that's a change and one I'm sure you are happy with. You mentioned moving out west...any particular state? Moves tend to bring out the anxiety and stress because it's a total change of environment and friends and family, but I do think that if your family is for going, then by all means start planning this move. Nothing says it has to be done today, tomorrow or even in 6 months, but planning the move can be tweaked along the way and until you are ready to pack and go.
What classes are you taking? What do you want to do in the way of a career or even a hobby?
You have come a long way and I'm so proud of you. I hope others who are "stuck" will come along and read your postings. You are an inspiration! Keep up the good work and do come back and post again real soon. We miss you!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
