my last 3 months sucked

In the last 3 months of my life, my band of 5 years broke up, my mother of 24 years died of breast cancer, and my girlfriend of 3+ years cheated on me and we are in the process of breaking up.
What the fuck?
All this awful shit has been happening to me and I am so horribly depressed right now that more than half of my waking life I would prefer death to the state I am currently experiencing.
I need to make this stop, but I don't know how. I am contemplating moving to the west coast and starting a new life.. brand new.. from scratch. This thought is really scary given my current emotional fragility but at the same time utterly beautiful.. a salvation.
Is this kind of life-changing step wise at such an emotional time? Should I wait until things calm down? Does anybody have any other ideas of how to get off this horrible train ride of pain I am on??

I say do it. Move on and move on in the biggest way possible. Moving does that. I'm in the same situation, by the end of this month I'll be moving closer to the college I'll start attending. There's a lot of bad memories in the area I live now and there's people that I don't want the possiblity of running into. It's nothing really drastic, just an entire different area of the city, brand new and fresh with brand new people to meet.
All you can do is move on, bud. If you're financially stable enough, then get out, you can always deal with your emotions. A change of scenery might be just what you need to get out of the horrible train ride you're on.
Good luck, PM me if and whenever you want.

In the end you're gonna have to make the decesion for yourself. Have you weighed the option of doing something a little less permanent, like a long ass vacation?

I have considered such matters. SIKE

I feel you on that one. Since 2003 I've had a family member or more die each year. My uncle committed suicide, then a year later my mom died. Then a year later my girl of 3 years left me for someone else.
I've also felt that need to move away from everything and start life anew. I think about it all the time. The fact that you've lost a lot of things dear to you makes the idea of moving out west seem almost serene. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment though. Make sure it's what you really want to do because I'll tell you now, time heals all wounds. If you wait it out you'll get over your girl and come to terms with other tragedies and you may find that you're happier you stayed.
On the other hand, starting a new life could really open things up for you. Meeting new people, breathing new air, and living in a new environment could be very beneficial to you in your current state.
