Traveling and Depressed...this doesn't make sense... Beachchick: Has anyone ever been on vacation alone, and all of the sudden become depressed? I'm traveling all through Europe, some for work, and the rest for pleasure.
My divorce was final last month, so I said "Screw it, I'm gone", so I took my first vacation in two years.
I'm in some of the finest more remarkable cities in Europe, and feel so alone....
I should be jumping for joy that I am fortunate to do this....but I'm not...
I am being an ingrate, and I'm sure this will pass....
:(
Re: Traveling and Depressed...this doesn't make sense... Magalucia: I have been depressed while traveling. It is almost as if being taken out of your element exposes you emotionally. I think part of it is just traveling alone. Not sharing the experience. Give yourself a break. Don't stress about being a little down. Try to do some of the things you might normally do at home like go to a coffee shop or a book store. To get out of the funk, try doing something familiary in an unfamiliar place.
Enjoy!
Re: Traveling and Depressed...this doesn't make sense... Beachchick: Hi you guys....
Boy, what would I do without this site? Tonight, I sat at a bar, and watched a bunch of middle aged, American women makes ASSHOLES out of themselves. Granted...I'm in my mid 30's, and here I was watching a couple women with hair that is TOO LONG, smoking, talking TOO loud, trying to pick up on ANYTHING that moved.
I wrote in my journal the entire time, but couldn't help but wonder what their life was life, since they were so damn loud.....
Then I left, and came back to my room...
I think whenever someone takes off to gather their wits, reality sets in, and general feeling of "malaise" sets in.....
I don't know...
The only thing I DO know is, that things have GOT to get better and they will......
If I have to get a 2o year old to check my oil, then so be it, dammit!
