Random question but out of interest I currently live on my own and have no real responsibilities children married etc I'm 24 pretty bad adhd and I am am just spinning in circles in the country I Iive the weathers terrible most of the year if ur on a minimum wage the uk is the worst in Europe and over the years become more attracted to move to the sun I feel I am more of an outdoors type of person and thrive or feel good Dependant on my environment I know this is the same with everyone but because of adhd I could do with More good days and positivity I have savings and am a qualified chef and am seriously considering moving abroad somewhere sunny and a fresh start. Really can't make a decision it could be a very bad decision I would be going on my own not that really makes much difference to me but it may do over time ,
Anyone moved abroad or something similar ?

moved abroad, travvelled a few times... all been very impulsive decisions... moved to the french alps, decided a week befor, 200 quid, no job no place to stay... cycled from holland to bezier to toulouse, decide a week before, no bike never even cycled more than a regular roam about. anyhow, both of these ended up in disaster, breakdown. I learned that I have to have sanctuary. Also that I need something to come back to, or sanctuary to go to. Hope this helps.

I'm the same id love to go around the world and do everything but it requires a lot of planning and future planning and preparing for the unexpected one thing Im terrible at doing is plan for the future unless it's imminent like a deadline is tomorrow and the pressures on that is the only time I can accurately set plans, so likely it won't be properly organised and il slip up somewhere . Good on ya for pursuing the challenge it takes courage especially for the adhd clan because we have the tendency to be leading our selves into the dark because our plans can be like Swiss cheese lol yea I definitely need sanctuary myself I could see how breakdown mode could intertwine I know that feeling it's not good.
tough decision probably not ready for it and I'm impulsively dreaming , it kind of illustrates how procrastination is a big factor if Im stuck between impulsively desiring or urning to travel or anything for that matter and poor planning organising skills nothing gets done and then sometimes ya just have to push ahead and just go for it but then again there will likely be a price to pay aha the adhd cycle lol it's a toughy alright

Can't count how many times I have upped and left. I spent 17 years on the move and they were the best years of my life. I would come home only when I absolutely had to (no money or chance of earning any), find any old job and work all hours 'till I could afford to go off again. For me, the depression set in when I settled down here and started to feel trapped. I hate the bloody cold miserable weather and long for my old life back - Oh to by somewhere in the sun, by the sea and to be completely irresponsible. The most planning I ever did was buying 'Lonely Planet' guide book and a plane ticket! Where were you thinking of going? Don't suppose you want to take middle aged woman with you???

Move to the south of Spain, Malaga is plenty of british people and the weather is much better. I came to London from Spain a couple of years ago and at least I'm founding that boredom goes away due some challenges sometimes. Try to learn the language by speaking to the people. I'm sure that going out under the sun is always better than staying at home because of the rain.

I nearly did! One day I just woke up and started applying to universities in Sweden and bought a Swedish grammar book! Perhaps luckily my mum reeled me in by reminding me of all the things I'd probably fail to organise such as medication etc. Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if I'd carried this through.
I did however impulsively buy a ticket to a music festival in the Czech Republic 5 years ago and successfully got myself there and back with very little planning, although I did have to sleep in the airport on the way there and back as I didn't think about booking anywhere!

I've had ideas like that before, but I don't think I would do very well somewhere else. I've travelled a lot (20 some countries) and nothing is like home. I live in Sweden and it's calm and quiet and just great I love it here. Maybe somewhere like Norway (which lets face it is pretty much the same) or the Netherlands would work. This week I went to London (my first trip with a friend) that was a little crazy.. I forgot alot of my packing and then I spent the three days totally hyper, freak my friend out like crazy...wooops
