What’s the difference between “running away from your problems,” and ambition?

I moved abroad quite quickly after having a really rough mental patch last year. A lot of people, even my therapist told me I was running away from my problems. This was about a year ago and now my program is ending, and I don’t have a single regret about doing this.

When I move back home, I plan on moving across the country for a low paying job compared to the cost of living in that city. The shameful thoughts of “running away” from my problems are coming back. But this is my dream city. I just don’t feel confident enough to make big decisions like this.

I will say that I believe people with CPTSDs lives look very different from those who don’t and that it’s important for us to be ambitious but where is the line?
