I had that experience already. It's lasts a few years. Moving somewhere else for a while is a good way to clear your head.

What else has changed for you besides your setting?

Just getting away from the pressures of family and friends, even though they weren't a problem for me. It just lessons your expectations and forces you to be in an unfamiliar environment.
I moved with a friend of mine so we knew a couple of people, but that was it. I just did it for a few years and used it as a time to relax and re-evaluate.
I was dealing with the fact that I had been in school for 18 years straight without any sort of time for myself.

Did you have money though? That is my biggest problem, I am incredibly broke and in debt from college and cannot find a quality job......its been almost a year and half since I have been out of school.

I moved with $1000, but I did have a job lined up. Not a high paying one though.
Also I took some classes just so I could get student loans to live off of
Do you have more classes or anything you could take? Or find a hobby of yours and move to the center of the action.
I was really into snowboarding, so I moved to a cold snowy place and worked at snowboard shops so I could just chill and re-calibrate for a few years. It was great.
I have the problem of having a girlfriend of over 5 years too so that adds to the complication. I would want to move right away probably if I was single but that just wouldnt be very easy right now for me.

I thought you guys had broken up (remember a previous thread) Well yeah, you're stuck then
I'd say just keep looking for a job or considered finding something you can do on your own for work.
We got back together and I got an old job back so that worked out for me but I am still struggling with my life.

Don't know then. Save up for a vacation then maybe?
I cant save up, I am having a hard time even paying my bills and I am not getting enough hours at my job now. This is what sucks, any suggestion given to me will be answered with something negative.

i was lucky enough that my parents were able to help me out with my student loans. it's helped me out a lot...especially when i wasn't making much money.
i know a lot of people that move back home for awhile after college to save up money. don't know if that would be an option for you?
you'll get through it!! it's frustrating at times, but it all works out in the end
