Running away

Pigtail

I'm in a bit of a bad place at the moment. I know I'm an adult so it's probably not as bad as it is with children but I feel like running away because life is just so hard. I don't know where I want to run to, I just want to get away from everything. Keep getting these thoughts and I don't know what to do about them. Life is hard, really hard. So much change is happening and I struggle to cope with it all. Hoping talking about it here will help me out.

  • I’m sorry you’re feeling so trapped and unhappy at the moment. Feeling that urge to run away and escape is a feeling I’ve had repeatedly throughout my life. My son is the same. Sometimes just getting away for a few days gets it out of our system. Could you do that? Do you have someone to run away with - so that it’s safe for you?

    I hope you and your son are both ok? How do you resist those feelings and thoughts? For me they get so strong and overwhelming, I've made a plan and set a date for when I'll run away. 

    I've nowhere else I can go or someone to come with me. Well I've got a friend but only I can see her so I'm not sure if that's healthy for me or not
