Would Living In The Appalachian Mountains Reduce Symptoms?

City life is becoming too fast paced. My symptoms flare up when I see people in a rush. :running: :running:

Even today at 7-11 a woman shouted at the cashier saying “come on lady, I do not have all day. The boss is expecting me back at work in three minutes”. :astonished:

Would you live out in the boondocks to avoid :running: :runner: :runner: the craziness of the city? :city_sunrise:

I do. I go to the city only when absolutely necessary.

I would imagine that living in the country comes with its own problems, like isolation, loneliness etc… I think that living in the suburbs could be the way to go for a person living with a mental illness - but there are many people who like urban and rural areas

suburbia is likely best, close to city life yet just out of the way where its quiet

I long to live in the Appalachains. The atmosphere would be good for what ails me.

You might have to give up some conveniences. Like running to the store or 7-11, laundromats, restaurants, etc. Depends how isolated you would want to be.

I do, and you can always drive to stores and laundry and all that.
City for me is pure madness. I lived there before and couldn’t stand it. The traffic alone can drive one insane. Throw in the sirens and honking at 2 am, occasional bustin caps, cars with bass speakers creating a mini earthquake, and you have a recipe for psychosis.

yes love to only and only if I have a car. living in isolation without a car pure torture.

Might prevent the disorder in the first place. Less to be paranoid about. I think I’m beginning to like the term integration disorder. If I wasn’t a different kind of person I probably wouldn’t be skitz. I know that doesn’t apply to everybody.

I would indeed miss the laundromat if I didn’t have a washer in the woods.

You would have to either use as washboard or rocks and a river.

Buying laundry detergent would be problem.

i live in the middle of nowhere.
take care

Some people make their own soap.

See? I knew I heard of that somewhere.

It would have to be ‘green’ soap. Wouldn’t want to pollute -
