Don't let fear of change hold you back. I moved quite a distance and started completely fresh when I was 37. I missed my family so travelled home for visits as often as I could, but other than that, the change was the best thing I could ever have done for myself. I have gone from working in a video store to working as a finance clerk for the government. I have made a few real friends, I have several hobbies like community theatre and painting, I have been in a long term relationship for the past 9 years, and some of my family lives here now. I am very happy and know that if I hadn't made that big move I would still be in the same old rut. Good luck. (Don't overlook the possiblility that you may be clinically depressed and may need to see a doctor, but even if that's the case, a change may be very theraputic.)
How to deal with the change? New city? You will probably find it scarey but exhilarating. It can really be an adventure and a perfect time to start a journal or blog.

What she said I've been there. I used to work for a water plant. I was in my job for 12 years. It was very boring. It was cool though because I could do school while I was at work. I got my degree that way. Anyway, I wished for a different job. Later, I pursued my happiness by moving far away and changing jobs. 9 years later I moved back and found that my old job was contracted out for much lower pay.
If I had stayed and done my feasability reports to stop the contracting, I would still be making $70,000 a year running the plant.
Make a plan to get some education and work your way up the ladder. If they don't let you pursue advancement, they are violating labor laws. Read up on them.
It means you need change mf! Look for a new job for a change of pace. Then I'm sure you'll feel much happier I think its time to move on then. Your obviously not satisfied in the field of work you have chosen, or the place you live is not challenging enough for you.
It may mean you are tired of what you are doing (job burnout) and getting yourself in gear for a job search.
One suggestion, make a list of all the good things about where you are at - job wise, life wise, money wise - any wise that you want to, then make a list of everything that is bad about where you are at.
It may put things in perspective about why you are feeling stuck. It may be because you are - but for reasons unrelated to you.
If it feels to be just a physical or mental thing, get your medical status checked out, including your fasting blood insulin level. Your feeling stuck may be your body's way of trying to tell you it needs some attention.
What do you do about it? If you can determine what is making you feel stuck, you can make a plan to change that portion of your life. Read a book about it, get more information - maybe take a class or two.
