Hi All. My first day on here - been reading and checking in periodically. I need some advice. I recently moved 2 hours away from my family and friends to start my life over (broke up with ex-fiance) Since I have been here I have spiraled into a deep depression and can't get out of it. I moved to Boston, MA and I am 30 years old - I thought this would be the most exciting time of my life, but instead I am horrible miserable, can't eat and can't do anything. Should I move back home to be closer to family for support or try and stick it out here? I will feel like a failure if I move home which may make my depression worse. Im so confused and lost. Any advice?

What are your interests? Are there any clubs/interest groups nearby that you can join to meet new people, and make friends?
Have you ever considered maybe taking a break and being single for a bit? I can remember a few breaks up -- they can really knock you for a loop.
The end of a relationship is painful and it is also a great time of discovery. People get lost in relationships. It could be a great time for you to tap into things that you always were interested in and curious about. It could also be a time to let yourself run wile -- a new city, a new life. You can re-invent yourself.
It can be crisis or opportunity.
You get the luxury of choosing.
I learned that one the hard way.
