I've been put on medication. I've worked. I've saved. I've been a victim of crime. Yet.. I am still here. Doing the same thing over and over again.
Howdy, Red. You don't say how old you are, or if you are married or responsible for taking care of other people...it makes a difference in whether you can actually get out of town, of if you're just dreaming about it. Try Lawrence or Olathe if you're looking for more action and job opportunities. Pulling a geographic (with job prospects, of course) could be just the ticket. There's a pretty interesting world out there.

Suicide is so final. If you can't get excited about living your life, maybe you could dedicate yourself to helping a truly underprivileged person by putting all your $$$ aside to help that person.

I lived in Williamsburg in the late 60's and thought that was the center of my universe. Ottawa was too big for me. Now I look back and shake my head. Good luck!
