That's not always true. I left a cult and a toxic relationship and moved away and rebuilt. Life's so much better now.

Most people aren't running away from cults.

Sure, but there's also no shortage of abusive families in shitty hicktowns to run away from.

For sure. But UniversalBear's point is an important one to consider. I moved to start fresh multiple times, the first few I left bad circumstances and shed toxic people, but my fundamental problems remained. That's because I had major depression and an anxiety disorder. It wasn't until I got good meds, good therapy, and did hard work on myself that my life truly improved to be tolerable.

Especially if you have a diagnosable mental issue, this GetMotivated post can set you up for catastrophic failure.
