Geographical cure

Is there any place you think you could go where everything would be ok?

I have a place in mind. It’s where I spent my early 20s.

It’s just a fantasy , it wouldn’t make any difference. But it’s a nice fantasy.

I used to think if i had the money id buy a boat and escape society by living on the high seas. I wouldnt do that now, i know nothing about sailing so it would probably be dangerous.

No, i realize now its me who has to change and adapt to live with normies, theres just no practical way around this. Theres nowhere really to go.

South Australia :australia: is the only place i remember feeling at home and relax n be myself .

Was pretty amazing country side with x and beautiful dogs and my neigh but some of his friends and family tried dominating me and bossing me about and acted aggressive vibes and I was uncomfortable then.

It wasn’t perfect when I was trying to exercise either because the people were behaving in such ways too.

I loved it there otherwise.

Nature and space to exist without people in my face etc

I think I’m hated all over the world perhaps.

I might not have space to relax and be me and bd happy etc any country as such.

In this neighbourhood they all prance around “I’m superior “”and disrespect me n walk all over me and agressive hostile vibes at me and they bully me with bad vibes from all of them excluding me but i don’t want to be one of them anyway.
Bullies are losers!

Maybe if a minority who genuinely loves me has private property around the world that’s protected and safe I could exist there and access denied to all my haters.

I want a better nature and trees too to be in n around.
I don’t go well with majority trees here.
Ones I go with seem to be private property trees and my own on balcony.

I don’t know what county or countries would treat me with genuine kindness and respect and appreciate me just as I am.

Maybe another world or planet or something…:crazy_face:

Id love to move to a European country that has a super cold climate for the majority of the year. I cant handle the heat here where i am in Australia. And i have hyperhydrosis so i sweat all over my body at the drop of a hat. My ancestors mainly came from England, Scotland, Latvia and probably Russia and Germany, so I’d like to live in one of those places. Maybe not Russia though. Especially at the moment haha.

There’s a safe place in my mind. I go there in meditation when I get too stressed. I sit in a wooden chair on a completely empty beach. There’s always a sunset and a nice breeze. I feel the water rush over my toes. The sand is so soft. I have a CD with ocean sounds. :slight_smile:

I used to think that moving to Mexico would cure all of my ails. Now I know that that is a farce. I’m happiest right here in good old Nebraska USA.

I haven’t thought of returning to any particular place, but I sometimes think of moving to a different environment. It would be nice for a while, but then it would get just as oppressive as my circumstances now. I’m not complaining about my abode, but I’ve lived here for twenty years. It’s awfully routine. In AA meetings they talk about “looking for the ‘geographical cure’.” It’s easy to feel oppressed when you’re an alcoholic. The problem is that when you move you take your problems with you.

“The problem is that when you move you take your problems with you.”

The above is true, read more from Marcus Aurelius.
A unhealthy man in paradise is still a unhealthy man.

Optimize your time use and live in a area that is not crowded, over priced on the housing market, has a decent climate for you, and has geography/nature that is diverse and easy to access. You want your environment to not look the same every week, and to see different areas of nature, in different seasons.

Live in colder climates year around with short/less severe winters. Heat+Humidity makes the snow birds travel back North from here in Florida: by being drenched in sweat from standing outside, in the shade, with the breeze, for a full 3 minutes can do that to people.

Human geography is the most important aspect. Wherever you live and are invest in, you want to know who lives around you and how that is going to change over the next few decades. After all property value fluctuates with supply/demand, and is really an abstract concept that resides within people’s minds. You want normal, healthy people who reinvest in the area and form productive communities, to be your primary demographic.

Living close enough to the ocean or mountains can be nice as well, to visit in the right time of year (seasons, temp. and climate).

Did it once. Could have worked but didn’t in the long run but honestly. Where you have friends/family or roots.

Isolation really does suck for everyone and especially mental illness. Life is better shared with others and it’s always a good thing no matter how old you are to connect with others. Hobbies.Sports. Politic. Religion. There’s ways to find others of your like mind and it’s worth it in the long run.

A few years ago I would have said NYC or London, 2 places I’ve lived before. I like a kinetic and diverse environment. Plus it’s mostly an anonymous existence outside of your friends and neighborhood.

Now I’m not sure. I’m living rural right now in small town America, but in a liberal college town. It’s pretty easy going. Loads less stress. It makes me wonder if I’m living my geographic cure right now.

Of course I want to think I’d be okay back in New York City because I felt young and invincible. But the reality is I might need peace and quiet, slower and easier. :slightly_smiling_face:
