Geographical location affects you mentally?

Interesting you are in Prescott and a friend did not like it and moved back to Montana and another family member moved to Colorado. The world is not anything like it was 20 years ago, and many are running away only to find that we have to face the consequences of our decisions. I hope everyone can rely on each other to get them through challenges of moving and change and then take a deep breath and look at our real motivation for moving. No place is perfect now, we just need to acknowledge our strengths and weaknesses and what is most comfortable for us person. It’s okay to make mistakes, we’re not perfect.

Hmmm, I’m not sure what to make of your message. To clarify I didn’t run away from Idaho. Because of my job, I moved every 3-4 years so I’ve lived in various US states and internationally. Even though I enjoyed the communities I resided, none of these locations had what ID had. When I returned, I lived there for 6 years before the dramatic changes became too overwhelming to live with. My mental health was deteriorating and I knew it was time to move on. In retrospect, I should have rented for a while but I was anxious to get settled. Anyway, I do appreciate your supportive words of making mistakes…”

I live in Reserve NM. Moved to Albuquerque NM in 2021 with my husband.He retired in 2023 so we bought an rv and now live in Reserve NM. My life long home state was MO.The climate in NM is an ongoing adaption to change. The poltical environment the scapegoating etc is getting to me. I would not move or leave except to be closer to health care and my husband and I are discussing and trying to plan. Life is not what it was like 20 years ago. Not even like it was in 2019. I just want everyone to be safe at peace and healthy for as long as possible.I do think something bad has happened to humanity in the US.Something very toxic and negative
