| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| |  Country I Should Move To
I'm presently looking for a job, and I'm considering living away from the U.S. for a few years. I don't mind the cold, but I do prefer urban environments. Other than English I can speak little bit of Spanish, though I don't believe it's enough to get by.
So where should I go and why? Right now I'm mostly drawn to the UK. |

Of places I've been that count as the UK I liked Scotland and Gibraltar the most. Ireland is also nice - I loved Galway. |

Can you speak the language? It's that accent you have to fake. And you have to learn words like 'boot' and 'bonnet' and 'randy' is not a first name. |

Well, as a vagabond you go where you please, but I don't think that leaving to go overseas is a very wise decision.
The world is in turmoil and IMHO about to blow up due to the political and financial crap. Everybody is fighting their neighbor over there and running around blowing up themselves and others.
Of course, I am a big wimp so you can't use my judgement. But the thought of going over there scares the hell outa me |

No 2quilt, I don't speak much British. I know a few words like tele, loo, and lorry. And I know color is spelled colour, but I'll probably need to take a few British Lessons  |

Hi upstream, I was wondering if you wanted to leave because your running from something? If so, every where you go there you are!
Hope all is going well for you.
Peace

If you really aren't set on where you want to go and are limited only by the language, you might want to consider Canada. I do know that you need to have a sponsor there before you can seek full-time and year-round employment and a work visa. It's not as easy as you might think. I considered going to Canada, buying a little place and retiring there. I could, but if I stayed there longer than 6 months in each of three consecutive years, would have to go through their immigration process just like everyone else. You have to admit their national health care and lack of crime is something to be envied.
I agree with Seeking Nirvana. Assess why it is you feel you need to go to another country to work. Some tihings that you think you are leaving behind will sneak into your pocket and go with you. |

Grama-Herc, I don't think it would be fair to say the UK is any more dangerous than the U.S.
I've lived all over the place and really enjoyed the experience. Upstream, I hope you find a place that you can have a positive adventure. It can be really empowering to build a new life somewhere from scratch. |

Yeah I gotta say I don't understand English myself. I have a hell of a time watching Harry Potter movies. I just miss so much I can barely decipher what's going on!  |

I'm sorry that you struggle with the 'English' language lol!
If you ever need any translations, just give me a shout!
I don't believe that we have any more financial and political crap than anywhere else in the world. Every place seems to have their problems -right?
Just wondered if Tammy has a point - are you trying to run from something?
Take care
