Attention, all people who have randomly up and moved places that were unfamiliar to them for any extended period of time: how the fuck did you do that? I've been here almost 6 months and while I'm getting used to the area a bit more, I still don't quite feel like I belong here. I'm counting down the days until I can go to the closest thing I have

If you have grown into yourself, nobody can get under your skin. If you grew up in a messed up family, there may be ACOA or CODA meetings near you that are free and anonymous and are an instant support group regardless of what city you are in. ACOA stands for Adult Children of Alcoholics/Addicts and CODA is Codependents Anonymous, and both can be lifesavers for people struggling with all sorts of problems. Since we tend to attract "problem" people to us (it's part of codependency), getting a healthy support system is key to finding ourselves, IMO. If you have family of origin issues and find yourselves attracting psychos and sociopaths and addicts, it wouldn't hurt to check ACOA and CODA out, and it wouldn't cost a cent.
