I think my ass is going to move from Ottawa when I’m finished school.

The mental health is at a point where I need a total reset at this point tbh

you're bored.
you work. go to school and go to the gym is like the only thing we know from you.
and if you only do that. then it becomes a routine that at your age is simply not fun.
Personally I feel like I’m stuck in a never ending rut and cycle. I’ll go out and socialize and all that jazz for a bit, but that’s on the good days and the bad days have outweighed the good ones for about 7 years now or so.

Gym is a temporary release for me.

Ultimately, from a life perspective I feel like a reset and move to a new city after school is needed. I also feel like there’s way more opportunity in a place like Toronto in my field from a career perspective and what I’m doing in school, and a hobby perspective (writing, entertainment, etc.)

Ultimately I’m at a point in life where i don’t feel like I could be happy here and that’s ultimately the goal: being happy.

It’s something I’ve pondered for years too, not just a spur of the moment thing. There’s definitely a mental health thing involved in the way I live for the most part right now though.

(i personally had nothing to lose when i went from Ottawa to Montreal)
no girlfriend
no job
no house
so i did came with hopes of finding a better life.
i didnt lol, cuz we attract what we are lol.
if im doing drugs. you end up meeting the otherr guys in the new city that do drugs and its a circle where you end up being at the same state as you were somewhere else. but you miss your family and friends.

that being said ottawa f***ing sucks and i dont blame people for being bored and wanting to move out.

Maybe, but the same opportunities don’t exist in every city.
Maybe. But the idea should be chasing an opportunity not chasing to leave.

Anxiety is tough. I am in the health care industry. I get it. But therapy, a plan, and ultimate grind is probably the best way to go.

i dont really agree.
my parents moved from (one of) the biggest cities in the world to Ottawa and found better opportunities/life. (thyere now in hull)
it all depends what youre looking for. but doing the same routine everyday its not fun for a young person. if youre gonna be doing the same in another city

(work, eat, gym, sleep, repeat)

Opportunity standpoint, a lot of work in my field in this city would be in government. I don’t speak French.

Opportunity in Toronto, especially for the writing/animation/acting hobby is huge along with what I’m studying is my mindset without rambling about mental health in response to the other quoted post lol.

I agree with this. I live by one idea - if i commit to the decision, i'm fine no matter if it goes wrong/right. Because i had a plan, a path, and I committed. Even if it backfires completely, it was worth it. You committed and you went for it.

For mine - i enjoy hockey and fitness. So i have a normal career job that i bust my ass in and work hard. The salary has made me be able to do the things i love doing. To chase my passions, I write for hockey (and have been asked to write for other sites) and I work with my buddy's gym for their marketing. I don't even think of the extra money I get. I do the stuff I do for passion and whatever follows is a nice bonus.

So it's a safer way to do it. But I really like what Disclose said. Everyone has a different path. Just commit.

That’s kind of what my plan is anyways.

All the other issues are completely mental health related and on a personal life aspect, less so career/working wise. I know what I want to do in that regard career/working/hobby wise.

Come to the burgh bro. I have a 3 bed 2.5 bath house. Full finished basement. And it's just me living there :laugh: You can get your shit situated, get a job, and you probably won't even see me because i'm never there anyway.

I think America is one of the last places I would want to move/live. No offense to American friends here - politics aside - I find the work culture in America to be super toxic. I know not all companies are like that, but the general idea I get is that “living to work” and ridiculous overtime without fair compensation and benefits is the norm there.

I never thought I would move to Toronto if it weren’t to pursue wrestling, but it’s definitely on my radar with the variety of things I want to do (nothing to do with wrestling at all in any capacity, I’m done with that).

@UnrealMachine - catching up on posts as i've been out for the whole week/weekend with family/friends. Tennis is interesting. I don't think lessons will do anything. Some simple youtube videos and honestly time on court. The idea is to watch the ball, brush up on the ball, and follow through. But everyone has a different/unique stroke.

They sell these at Walmart. They are a tad bigger than tennis balls and have low pressure so you can over hit. My brother who struggled with tennis did a hit session with these balls and loved it. It was cardio central because you can hit it hard and it stays in. And then when you start to figure out top spin, it still works.
