a bad relationship or a troubled life?

If so did moving away help this person?
Did moving away and changing themselves 180 degrees from who they were, affect the outcome?
How far does one need to move to get a better life?

The only way moving helps if if you are in danger or if it helps you psychologically reset yourself. If one of those is the issue, you are a better judge than we are about what distance you will need.

This.

If the situation is too close to the point you might fall back into old habits, and most definitely if you have no support base, moving is good for the soul. But, only individuals can judge that.

I just want to escape the Pitts of mediocrity and live above the poverty line go into dead end job after dead end job. I get boring siting at home with no money and nothing going on in your life other then work.

I think one has to want to change and not just talk about it . For me I got sick of being a loser and getting drunk every day just so i would feel OK with my life. I have been doing something about by stop drinking and went back to college. I wantred more out of life then popping pills and drinking every night and waking up wishing i was never born go to work get off work do the same thing all over.

@krieger:

Well, don't move unless it's transfer to another college, and one you can afford.

Why not stay where you are but tell all your loser friends that you have moved, and get new ones? Iz cheaper.

You can send them texts about, 'Yeah, it's great here in Arizona, all sunny!' Or, you know, Finland.

I always read on the forums how some people were in bad situations/relationships and they got out, just wanted to know of some real life experiences where they were in the dark and then they found new life/new light....

The better question is, how many more threads will you start by the end of the week?

Seriously - This and the cheating thread makes it seem like you're having a bad time. I hope you figure it out. You can always escape a bad relationship. It isn't easy, but you can do it.

I'm one of those people who escaped a troubled life.

Depending on the type of former life you had, it may take a while to process your former life in your new environment. Eventually, you will likely come to terms and be able to begin your new life.

So in my case, it helped.

The distance needed depends on each individual case.
