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 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.

    I have been getting the same feeling too

    I found when i started in an art group it helped. The artist use to tell us there is no, good art.  And there is no, bad art. There is only your art. And there is no, right way, and there is no, wrong way. There is only your way.

    And i've found that's true. I can sit here doodling and forget the world around me.

    To learn, i didn't spend a fortune, cheap kids poster paints and painted on the back of Weetabix boxes.
