...I've thought of doing that as well !

I wrote a post very similar only last night. Welcome to the should I, shouldnt I club. I got loads of love, hugs and support on here last night and it was my saviour.

I think it something that everyone goes through, we just need to keep popping into this forum to a little pick me up from time to time.

Good luck with your PR app - Jacq XX

Hi,

Just want to say a big thank you to everyone for your replies You have put my mind at rest.

I think the other reason I am feeling like this is because I haved lived in the same town all my life. When I moved to London with my Fiance I developed an anxiety disorder and it all went wrong. It took me a good couple of years to get back on my feet after that. I think I am just really worried that this will come back due to moving as I only have moving to London as an experience and I guess my mentality is that if I can't move around in my own country how am I going to cope with moving to a different one

I think that's a very good question to ask yourself. Why did you not cope with moving to London? Was it too busy (in which case, why are you moving to the GTA which is very populated and built up?), was it being away from family (in which case, how will you cope being even further away from them) or another reason?

I think you need to think about it carefully and examine your reasons for not settling in London - if it's something that could happen again then perhaps emigrating is not for you?

Only you know what is best for you and how you will cope with the change, I hope you can reach a decision and be happy wherever you choose.

Well without going into too much detail I had a difficult childhood. I was told that this was the reason I developed the anxiety disorder and that it would have happened anyway.

My family are moving away anyway so if I stay here I still won't have them so that for me is not really an issue. We both have family in the GTA so we know we will have support which I think will help a lot.

I guess for some people that have never had a disorder like mine doesn't mean they will never develop one. It can happen at anytime. I think maybe I am just worrying too much.

But London tbh is way more populated than Toronto and the people there are very rude which is not something I experienced in Toronto so from that perspective I should be fine.

Ok........that's a very different post from your last one! You were worried about it happening again and wondering if moving abroad was a good idea, but now you don't seem to be so that's good.

And btw, I thought the GTA had a population of 6 million? So London is hardly 'way more populated' than Toronto!! And trust me, there are a lot of rude people in Toronto - you will definitely encounter them!

Glad you seem to be happier with your decision.

Well I am still worried, but the population of Greater London is 18 million so thats 3 times more than the GTA. It is far more populated. The population of London alone is 8 milltion so thats 2 million more than the whole of the GTA!!

That is the reason I don't think crowds will be an issue. After living in London I can say that I think living in Toronto would be better.

But you are aware that London is 3 times the size of the GTA though?!? So that's not really a fair comparison. If you compare population density (i.e. how many people per square kilometre) there's not much difference. If crowds might be an issue then could you consider elsewhere in Canada?

Personally I'm not a fan of the GTA, just always found it too built up and industrial for me, whereas London I quite like despite not being a city girl - I wouldn't want to live there but it does at least have some beautiful architecture and history.

Plus the only experience of crime I've ever had in my life was in Toronto. Hence why it's not exactly my favourite city!!
