DAE who lives out of town get very depressed when you have to go into town?

r/

Idk maybe it’s the fact it’s just concrete everywhere or that there’s no colour or even that I feel kind of unsafe anywhere because there’s quite a bit or druggies and homeless people where I am. If I could I would never leave my house because town just feels so weird and horrible to me. It’s kinda hard to explain my feelings exactly but all I know is that I get very depressed. I also live in a smaller town in the Canadian prairies so there’s no trees anywhere, I bet that contributes something to this feeling. DAE feel like this?

    I used to. Love hate relationship with the city. Every time I’d go to the mountains, even just the foothills 15 minutes away, I could feel my blood pressure drop. So after living in cities my entire life, took a chance and moved to the mountains. Problem solved. Mostly.

    depends on the town

    I am from rural place and we drove 40 mins to the nearest city to shop for necesities

    it got such a family habit that we went at least every sunday. But also for any other reason (fix car, go to festival, go to movies, go eat etc)

    I got so used to this small city that the older I got the more it got part of my “home”, where I am from. Or at least and extension of where I am from.

    Plus now I actually moved here (small city) and I have a nice view of the water ao yay me

    Greetings, I’m from Sask.

    It depends on the town. If you’re referring to larger urban/industrial ones like Regina, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Estevan, Medicine Hat, then yes, I find them all depressing and I want to go home. Although some smaller towns are quite beautiful and inspiring.
