I wish I could run away

I have always felt the need to run away, I don't know why, but I've always just had this feeling of wanting just to run away and get away from everyone, from everything. I've always had this feeling I want to be alone. I always find being among people all the time very stressful, even when those people are my own family. I haven't been getting enough alone time lately, and I haven't been very happy because of it. I wish I could just run away somewhere, that special somewhere I can get total peace and quiet with no disruptions.

Hi Auds. In my opinion, you have to analyze what causes your feelings to be like this. In the first place, if they are your family then there's no reason to feel this way, when everything is in order. You have to face the problem the first, so you can determine if this feeling will still be there. But i guess, if you feel so burnt out with everything, you really deserve a break from them all.

Hi Tita D, I guess I'm just super stressed out lately and I really really want a break.

So, why not take a break again, like what you did last January? I know you enjoyed your trip to Bangkok , so maybe you can go to another Asian sojourn again. Take it easy, don't let our work get into your nerve, or should i say your boss?

You are not along in how you feel. I feel that way also. I cannot handle being around too many people myself. And sometimes, family can become overbearing. I am always looking for alone time and just being with myself. Life itself can become stressful. I believe we all need alone time, there is nothing wrong with that.

I think you are in stress. There are times when we really need to be alone sometimes and just do nothing but relax. Try to have a vacation and let nature heal your tired body and mind. Pamper yourself with a massage. Let no one disturb you and better yet, turn of your cellphone even for just an hour. If you can make it the whole day without distractions much better. Perhaps this will take out your stress and will give you a nice feeling to face the world again. Best to you and hope that you will find happiness.

I often wish that I could start a new life somewhere, but I wouldn't want that place to be anywhere away from the people who I love. If I were to move away, I would want to take my Boyfriend, Mum, Dad, Brother, Granny & Grandad with me. They are the only people who I would miss, and therefore the only ones who I would need if I were to start a new life. There are a couple of friends who I would miss as well, but to be honest, I lost touch with most of them when we all left high school even though we all said that we would stay in touch and never forget about each other.

we have the same feeling 3 years ago. That was when i burden all the problems related to my family, relationship, school, friends. When the time came i don't know what to do anymore, all i wanted was to escape from it. Stay away for awhile. Find to relax and clear my thoughts for me to slowly solve the problems i had that time. But since i was still going to school, I can't run away from my them. i had no choice but face them. But my best friends were there for me and there i realized that you don't have to run away from the stressors/problems because whatever happens, your loved ones are there for you to help you and guide you. :)

I feel like that sometimes and when I see other people happy, it kinda makes me jealous. It feels like they have nothing to worry about and basically flaunting their joy right in front of your face, not realizing how you feel. Sometimes stress and depression gets in your way, telling your brain to possibly take drastic measures. I get these feelings all the time but I always try to find a small tinge of happiness just to relieve those negative feelings. Don't think about, talk to someone who you trust because the more you allow those feelings to spread. It's just going to further damage your health and your life.

I think you need exchange with your families. In the world ,no people can comple with our families. You should calm down.You must think quietly.

We are in the very same situation. Having a stressful life with family. :( I do get time for myself when I meet friends even just for how many hours. But that requires money which I am so lacking right now. or sometimes, I just walk nearby in park or farm to clear my mind. I think the stress makes me depress and sometimes I want to give up. If not for my kids, I honestly might don't know how to handle my situation. But as I had said, my kids nring me happiness and inspiration

everyone wants to escape from his ordinary life sometimes... but, if it's something that you want all time maybe it's because of a sort of depression. when someone is depressed he wants to go far from everything from people and friends. i am not a doctor but i guess there are good tablets against depression that can change your life dramatically!
