I want to run away

LegacyUser

Has anyone here ever seriously run away from everything and been happy? Would love to hear if anyone has, because I would love to leave and start over.

OP, this is an advice forum - rather than a story sharing forum.

Could you please specify an/the issue you require advice on or we will have to lock this thread.

Cheers.

Space from an issue can help, but running away from issues never works in my experience. I can't really say as there is next to no information in your post. What is the issue? What have you tried?

Running away from feelings is impossible.

Running away doesn't really work from my past experience... Unfortunately the brain still comes with you with all its problems, emotions, feelings, sh*te really etc.

If it is an external situation then maybe a move will help, but changing a geographical location won't help anything internal.

Thanks guys. Sorry I wasn't clearer.

Recently I've realised that those I care about don't really give a fig about me, just what I can 'bring' and I know this is how I've set it up, it's not their fault. Am thinking of an Ashram in India to start. This is a serious question, wrongly put (story of my life!) and the replies will inform my decision whether to do it or not.

There isn't one particular thing unfortunately. I've messed up on every front and have concluded that bar killing myself, which I've discounted as it would just make things worse for those I care about, the best thing would be a fresh start, maybe visiting once or twice a year but not being so involved. It's selfish I know, but have concluded it's better than staying and living with the judgements, criticisms, isolation and pure cruelty towards me (some earned, some not).

thanks for whatever you can add.

Most people have made some mistakes in there life but some times the mistakes you make can change your life and make you a stronger person.
Running away is not going to change what has happened in the past.
You would be better dealing with your problems and moving on with your life then.
You should let us know what mistakes you have made. Maybe someone here has done something similar and could give advice in how they on what they did to improve things.

sorry for your plight. but I am wondering who you are planning on running away from. I guess it would help us if we knew if your are single and running away from parents/school etc or if you are married with children etc. this would make a big diffirence. You sound like you have lost any self confidence you ever had. Have you considered seeking professional help. Sometimes talking to an outside party can help. I can only tell you what someone once told me when I am in the horns of a dillima. "whats the worst thing that can happen? when you figure that out and know if you can deal with that.. then you have your answer
