Great advice
I don't think I need to move across country or anything like some of you did.
I would probably be fine just an hour or so away, just in a rural setting and a nicer, more comfortable home.
As far as my job, the work itself is OK, its the people that make it terrible.
Everything from higher ups, to the workers that are below me just make me hate life.
Not to mention I'm on nights, so I am always tired.

and make sure to name your wallet.Just wander the earth like Caine.
Ultimately, there is no geographical solution to a yearning of the soul.
Also wanted to add that I own and live in was my Grandparents home.
Used to be the center of every holiday and summer for lots of family, now it is just me here.
Came into ownership about the same time as I started my job.
Was pretty cool at first staying here, but now it is, well, I can't really explain it.
Would like to fix it up, but it just needs too much, and the area is not getting any better.So it started out being a source of good memories and now it's a constant reminder that you're alone. Maybe changing it to make it your own would help. Even if you don't end up staying there then, if you do it right, then you're likely generating some equity and making it easier to sell someday.
If you need a hobby, maybe fixing up your home would help. Doing some of it yourself is very rewarding. I know I enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done and I actually like working on the house as long as I don't have an insane deadline or the wife isn't complaining that I'm not getting it finished fast enough. If you're someone that will finish what they start it can be pretty rewarding both mentally and financially. Even a fresh coat of paint will make a huge difference and most people can do that themselves. Maybe get rid of some old window treatments as well. You just have to be a bit of a perfectionist about it to get good results and don't start a new task before you've completed the previous one.
The other thing that you keep coming back to is the fact that you're alone. Working nights like you do this doesn't surprise me at all. Go on match.com and meet some people. What's stopping you, there's someone for everyone on there. I'm sure you can find someone that works nights as well. Maybe someone else who also has a hard time meeting people because of their work schedule. Nobody wants to be alone and with these dating sites making it as easy as they do there's no reason anyone has to be.
