Running away

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 can relate to wanting to run away- I have had 'escape plans' in the past (most of which involved me becoming a hiking guide and/or disappearing into the mountains...) and I am currently also feeling like I want to 'run away' (have a fresh start, move abroad...).

    I think wanting to run away for me might mean that I am feeling trapped and overwhelmed by my current environment- it seems like a very natural response to want to escape from all those stresses.
