i have ptsd and borderline pd..due to a difficult , traumatic life...im presently trying to get the right help/treatment, im 30 now.

my long term ambition is to move away, to build a new life, turn a new leaf, far from britain.
but at the moment, iam trapped on welfare, live in a noisy area, with speeding cars, anti social noisy gangs of youths that shout, play loud music, act intimidating, and cause social unrest.
the authorities say they cant do anything because they need evidence.
but i feel trapped because i dont want to be here, around them. but i feel trapped because of my situation, on welfare, never had a job, having had long term mental health problems....so for the time being...i wont be going anywhere.....and im very depressed about it, as i sit here thinking of my long term goals of moving far out away from the uk, but realise i wont be going anywhere for now, also that it will be difficult to move & get where i want to be because of my conditon.
has anyone been

This is where ambition kicks in. Battling against your condition and working to get out. If you do it then you can always start afresh.

You have to make the right plan and go according to it.

Make an effort.

Read some books that show with alot of positive and ambitious plans you can alwways dream to go places.

Dont blame the condition coz if you blame it then you have a reason to be there.... if you wanna move in a year then make sure you do.

No one knows the future friend. If a move is what you need stop listening to everyone and just pack up in the middle of the night and do it. Get that fresh start you want. You will need some survival money to hold you over until you find a job. Get online and work your travel out. Find out what the jobs are like, how much a cheap hotel cost and figure your cost to get there. You'll need at least two or three months worth of money until you find a job and get a check coming in. If you hate being where you are the depression will stay with you regardless of any therapy you receive. You just hate it there. You're only thirty for hell's sake. Take the risk and plunge in head first. You may just find the life you've always desired. It's not about money, but about peace of mind. You need to do this for yourself and your well being. You can always come home, but it takes guts to leave and do it on your own. You don't need an education to learn to wash dishes, wait on tables, scrub floors and clean rooms and get a foot hold in working environment. What the hell do you have to lose?

Perhaps that perfect environment to move does not exist.Accept some areas more difficult than others..Id forget any labels medical people put on you and just see yourself as an able person...Being miserable is different to depression...You will only get out by your own efforts...I know laws,economics effect rule our lives to certain extent but futures unwritten and where theres a will theres a way...Theres no free lunches and your have to be brave and work hard at getting what you want.IF moving is the answer a geographical move does not solve everything but may help..How you feel about yourself what you can do and on achieve on your own ,is everything..Do not believe the state or anybody will help,do not put your faith in them..Its down to you,yes use whats on offer but your going to have to do it Probably involves lots of changes,.To an extent we are what were born to be,on the other hand we have the power to shape and change ourselves and lives,if we try...Good Health.

You need to be patient. Once you find the right medication and counseling you will have a better outlook and see a way out of your situation. It will happen but you need to be persistant in finding the right treatment program. Once your emotions are more leveled you will be able to think more clearly and a counselor should be able to guide you to create some better life skills and coping skills. Do not give up!!

you don't need a lot of money to get out of there...if it's at all possible for you to get a job, look online and apply for one in the area you are wanting to move to...once you have found the job, you will have a reason to move away...until you make the 1st move to get away, you will always wish you'd done something...it's a big leap of faith, but one you must make if you are going to be feeling better...you can also check with a church to see if they have any suggestions for you...you could become a missionary and then they place you where you are needed...it may be just what you need to help with your ptsd...

The problems with the UK you mentioned exist all over the world. Moving away is just changing geography the problem exists within you and your unhappiness. Its about taking action to change the things you can, what have you done to make your life better today?

Moved out, as I couldn't take it.
It disturbed me so much that I had 24 hours headache.

Did arrangements to move out all by myself. Only my sixth sense to guide. Totally helpless.

Kept on the bigger goal in mind.
With time I feel better now.

I advise you to move out if you have better goal. But the goal will take lot of time but you will reach if you keep it as your only Target.
GO FOR IT.

Yes I spent my days at a job. So, get one. I spent my evenings visiting my girlfriend. So, get one. I went home late and went to sleep. Couldn't wait to get out of there but a couple years later I was able to. And I didn't look back.

I haven't faced such situation but in difficulties, I pray and find that I suddenly find some way which I overlooked earlier.
