I just spent thirty minutes running down the whole thing with my therapist. Basically, I think I’m choosing between being lonely (depressed) or angry if I stay. Sure, I’ll make friends, but I’ll be leaving behind a hell of a circle of people who I love with friendships covering many years, so it won’t be the same. I also have to leave my partner behind as she’s a refugee in this country and can’t travel abroad as a result. It’s tough, y’know.
Do it! Best decision I ever made.
Unless by “overseas” you mean “to the US of some other oppressive country”. In that case maybe don’t do it.

Thanks for the encouragement.
