Dart, map and a blindfold

October 16, 2013 4:24 AM

I would like to settle down and start a family, and build a home, though I have no roots. I have a mobile job, which is good on some respects, but I am very restless and find it difficult, impossible, to stay in one place very long. I used to take 6 month tenancies and move twice a year, but more recently I've taken to one month sublets and airbnb flats. I'm tired of travelling but get anxious if I am tied to somewhere as I don't really have a life in any one place, and I'm always wondering if the grass is greener somewhere else. There is perhaps something underlying the behaviour. I have tried seeing therapists, which have been useful, but again, havn't stuck with one for more than a session or two. Again same problem with jobs, I've tried taking second jobs, and renting offices, and coworking spaces, but the same problem reoccurs . I used to take ADD medication but the doctor cancelled my prescription, it's really difficult to get prescribed ADD meds as an adult in the UK. So how do I root myself to a place and start a family?
