Hi, i'm sorry if this post has kind of a melancholic vibe, but i mostly just want to understand what this move will mean for me.
I live in Holon, and work in Tel-Aviv doing work for a big IT company as a NOC operator. Although i make a decent living (nothing too special, but you know how prices for rent and stuff in Gush Dan are).
For a last few years i started getting kind of depressed, and feeling basically worthless and disconnected . An year ago i was prescribed antidepressants, although i was not diagnosed with something specific. Basically they just wrote down that i have a tendency for panic attacks. As you can imagine the anti-depressant's didn't really help the situation, if anything it made it worse.
For a long time i feel like i don't belong here, and even started of thinking of moving out of the country, but i think it' too much of an extreme measure to take, especially with my "not so stable" mental health.
So being of age (early 30-s) where most of my friends started to settle down, and move out of Gush Dan i thought to myself that it would be nice for me to change the scene a little.
I always liked Haifa and i served there for 3 years, and it seems kind of more relaxed and different enough from Tel-Aviv to not get on my nerves too much.
Now that i finished whining, i have a couple of questions.
1 I do understand that working in Haifa will make me take a financial hit, but the question is how much of a hit it would be? I know the cost of apartments is very different from Gush Dan, but i still want to understand how fucked will i be financially. (I looked at yad2 and found some nice apartments basically for a half of what i'm paying now).
2 Despite me working as an NOC operator, i can wear a lot of hats and do different jobs like Sys Admin, AS400 operator, security stuff and being an IT manager for a small company (i have proven experience in all of those) How hard would it be for me to find work in Haifa?
3 I know it's not a psychology help sub, but do you personally think that this move can help me with my psychological health?
I'm sorry for a long and whiny post. Not trying being a downer, just wanted some advice and of course my friends although there are not much of them left here, don't want me to leave, so i just wanted some outside opinion.
Sofash naim hevre, ve sliha al ze she ani mitbah'en.
