Hi all, so this is probably really menial compared to what others are going through here, so I apologize in advance. Background: I’ve moved XC from Philadelphia to San Francisco for an amazing career opportunity. My professional life is great, but I feel empty. All my coworkers are virtual, so it’s hard to meet up. And the fact that I’m not emotionally close with any of my family doesn’t help. Is it normal to have anxiety or depressive-type thoughts after a huge move? How do I cope with this?

Weekly activity in new area. Sports or volunteering. Minds Matter is a good organization for young people.

I am sorry you are going through a tough time. I don't know exactly how you feel because I haven't made such a big move. But lately I have been feeling really down and hard to figure out how to get out of it.

Last week, I did some stuff on the fly and it seemed to help. I am use to overthinking and being alone and doing the same routine doesn't help.

Maybe try a sport or activity that you enjoy and see who is around. Or try things in your new neighborhood and people watch. Maybe you can strike up a conversation with someone and that can lead to other things.

Hope you figure it out soon and feel better!

Makes sense. Job change. Move. Those are two huge life changes.

So many emotions wrapped up in that and without a solid community around you, I can understand how that may invite anxiety and depression.

All this change has also created a new set of opportunities to build a new life.

Are you interested in building a new community in SF? Couple thought starters: volunteer organizations, church, pick up sports, join a club (like a run club), ask friends to introduce you to friends, take a class at a local university.

I’ve also heard women have had good luck making friends on bumble bff. Guys not so much, not sure why.
