    Is there a question here? I am not sure what you're looking for but I can tell you it sounds like you are fighting depression.

    You act like you can simply decide you want to live in another country and move there. Well you can't, they ALL require you to get a VISA. Most of them require you to have a job and a sponsor... but it is far from anything like moving to a new city or state... and its not cheap. You MIGHT get permission if you apply, but you have to do that first.

    I've done it twice... first time it was over a job.. but it didn't allow me to remain there after the job ended... adn the second time I actually had a legal right to live and work their indefinitely because I had all the paperwork needed.

    I agree with Odinn7, your real problem here sounds like depression and needs to be treated.
