Do you want to travel alone when you suffer great depression

I don't want to travel alone when I am depress because I migth not know whether I am going to harm myself or not its just for my own protection physically for I may never know what will run through my mind while recovering from it. I will only be silent at the corner thingking. I know I can recover from it but not that soon. Time heals.

I have depression. Although travelling can help me, I prefer not to do it alone. I know being alone helps some people, but for me if I travelled alone, I would have too much time to dwell on things and make myself more depressed. If I travel with someone it helps keep my mind occupied. Just after Christmas my daughterv and I are travelling to Kangaroo Island for 7 days. Im looking forweard to it. If being alone helps your depression, that that is okay. I wouldnt recommend it all the time though. You must seekl some company at times. Good Luck.

Hi, Lornal. It is great to travel alone. But if you are really depressed, then it is best to have family and friends accompany you. Only if you are so depressed of hurting yourself. If not, then traveling alone will do you some good. It will give you a peace of mind. And fresh air. It will make you feel better. I know that I would like to travel by myself just to clear my mind and think about positive things that are taking place in my life.

In a real sense, I would really need to have a companion if I am experiencing a great depression. And that I am travelling. It's because I might hurt myself or anybody because of my state. But personally, I don't want anybody getting near me when I am feeling depressed. Becuase I am feeling very low on myself, I really don't want anybody on my sight.

Hi there, when I feel depressed, I make myself feel alone as possible. I want to have a quiet place to think and meditate such as in my own bedroom. With regards to traveling alone, I prefer to travel with someone... not necessarily a relative or friend, but someone close in my heart.... someone special... that will understand and support what I am feeling about. I think it is better to travel with someone whom you can talk and release everything that bothers you... it is best to talk while you are traveling into somewhere peaceful.

when i feel normal i like to drive alone but when i feel sad i want to drive alone.but sometimes its dangerous for us.

I do like to travel to calm myself down when I am stressed or depressed. There is a beach resort that I like to frequent during their off-peak months because I have the whole resort to myself.

It would be hard for me to travel somewhere alone when I am depressed. I would need someone to come along to talk to along the way. I find that relatives and friends help me overcome my depression. But some people prefer to travel alone to relieve their stress and depression. I would travel to somewhere warm like Hawaii.

HI LOrnal yeah! I like to drive/travel a long,Try to get out from all (work, home, friends, family) i like to live alone for a while ,i do only those thing which give me relax(relax to my distrbed mind),That time i used to drive a car and listen soft music, which really works always. Take care.

I want to travel alone but have never tried it. I agree with what you said that when depressed, it is best to change your mood by traveling, walking in silence... I hope you enjoy your trip. I've been wanting to try traveling alone and for a little soul searching.

Hello,when I am depressed I want to travel alone.What I really do is Drive my car alone for a really long drive without knowing the destination,I keep on driving till the depression goes out of my head and I finally smile all alone.When I am depressed I can't be with a person as they become so irritating to me asking me what happen and all.They may be asking me because they might care for me but I really don't need their sympathy at that time.I want some quality time alone to figure things out that's why I drive.Its the best way to be all alone being bothered by anyone except the police.

well,if i suffered great depression,i would have thought of traveling alone.for one thing,traveling is a perfect way to pull myself out of the depression;for another,being alone makes it possible for me to have a deep thinking about my current situation.

In my opinion, it all depends on the characteristics of each individual. Select the best ( which can ease the burden of your depression ). If me, if I face a difficult situation ( depression ), which I do sometimes alone, meditation, or maybe sleeping. But sometimes, I also apply a bit extreme, for example, crying, hitting the wall, even banging my head against the wall. It sounds extreme, but there is " satisfaction " of its own.

I always prefer to set up my mind with the problem for which my mood is not good. after that i will travel with my friends as friends can make the trip more enjoyable. Thanking you AVIPSIT RATH HAVE A NICE DAY

I have been feeling a bit unhappy lately due to some aches and pains. I feel so very much better today because I have booked my flights to Canada. I will fly from Gatwick to Halifax in June 2010 with my toddler son and my baby daughter. So I am really looking forward to my family's trip. I hope that you enjoy your traveling and feel less depressed soon.

There are times when I just want or need to be alone & when that happens I try to go somewhere quiet where I can enjoy the peace and quiet. I don't take my cell phone, just a book or two. Getting away from the busy hustle & bustle really helps

to me i would take my wife, but i have gone places alone to think things over.

Well I suppose it would really all depend on who I was with or where I was going and all the other factors that would play a part in my decision. If I was traveling with any of my friends or families I would easily get over my depression and continue having fun on the trip with them. If it were a group of strangers or someone who just really tested my patience or something like that then maybe I would consider taking a personal journeys. Personal journeys can really help you to go through revolutions of the mind because instead of blabbing all day you spend more time contemplating and thinking.

I do want to travel alone when I am in depression. In this way, I can meditate and refocus. I think it is a wise decision to travel all alone during this situation. Just be sure that you can really manage yourself being alone while breathing a fresh air on the road. Breathe new and enlightening ideas and hope too while seeing around the nature.

Yes, usually when i'm at the downiest point of my life I travel alone so that I won't do anything stupid in which other innocent people may become involve. I usually go to an isolated park or any corner of a public place where I could find a silent corner. When i'm depressed I just wanted to be quiet and look at the sunset at the park or watch the sparkling sea or ocean.
