I've been wanting out of the grind for awhile now and it looks like it might be coming soon. I had plans to move to the pnw last year around this time but I trashed my shoulder at work and have been saving money while on workmans comp for a whole year.
I'm tired of grinding my whole life away and being unhappy. Every relationship I have falls apart and the only constant is me. Something to do with my ptsd or something to do with knowing that this is not the life I want.
The problem is primarily that I own too much stuff and don't know how to get rid of it. I have a car thats basically worthless other than its a rolling registered and a trooper. A pickup with a camper and a motorcycle.
Multiple household stuff I can easily throw away other than the electronics which might have some kind of babylonian monetary value.
I have become jaded with society since the Iraq war. And even more ever since my shoulder got trashed. I have a lawyer and don't know if its going to end up as a settlement or not and frankly couldn't care.
I need advice on how to get rid of stuff. I dont want to abandon it and have nowhere to put it.
I'm going to miss my girlfriend and father but other than that I've kept myself 34 years (in two weeks) without any attachments. I own a house my late mother left me outright and I imagine it is an ok passive income and a good fallback plan.
I don't have dreams of finding mecca or any perfect place for me. Those dreams left long ago. I just want to be able to travel without a conscience and not work a job that goes nowhere but more injuries.
Does anyone know of any suitable wilderness areas that one is able to squat in and survive in the right climate? I want to throw a tent down, grow some vegetables and say goodbye to society.
I've been terribly depressed since my injury and suicidal as hell but have came back from the brink in one piece.
Being a veteran really messes your life up I have to say. Maybe next time around the wheel I'll make better choices.
Sorry if this sounds like a loud harangue and a Jeremiad. I guess it is.
Thanks for reading, I know this is not a psychology forum and I apologize for treating it like one.
I'm just curious if there's anyone out there in the national forests living free of this messed up social system that just chews people up and spits them out.
