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 feel like this.  I've felt this way too, that I just wanted to buy a train ticket and run away somewhere, but I was always too scared to do so.  (Lately I feel overwhelmed, but not so much that I want to run away.)

    Life and change are hard, and it's OK to feel like you're struggling.

    Can you talk to someone?  Like a counsellor or therapist?  If you can't access one for whatever reason, phoning Samaritans can be helpful.  You don't have to be suicidal to phone.
