I want to Run Away from my Life...?

Question

I'm at the point where I'm done with everyone and everything in this life. There isn't even ONE thing for me, in the place I currently reside. Saying that I "hate my life" would be an understatement. I want to run away. I want to run away with my boyfriend. I am 24yrsold and I can not deal with how things are anymore. I am begging for change..i NEED to change in order to progress in my life. If I continue my pattern of living, of pretty much nonexistence, and sleeping every single day away, hardly being able to complete ANY task, let alone get myself out of bed......I'm going to end up losing my life. I am lower than low, I am beyond depressed, my mind is almost numb, every single thing I do in my life is out of sheer force because I know longer have any passion/energy or the will, to do ANYTHING. Packing up and leaving is going to be my only option. How do I do this? How do I start fresh and leave my deep hole of depression behind as well? Thanks

Answer 1

You can run but you can never hide. Why don't you change what you don't like and use all that anger and frustration to set new goals for yourself......surround yourself with positive up-building friends and find a hope for the future. The Bible is a great place to start. I know I was once as lost as you........It can and will get better if you make the right choices!

Answer 2

You cannot escape yourself, no matter how far you go.

Change is a quick but temporary fix; your problems will come back to you just as strong and you may be without support that you had.

If you can, get some professional help. Or go to your priest, rabbi or pastor for guidance.

Moving to a new place will not solve your problems and will probably make things worse.

Answer 3

Just do it.  If things are that bad there isn't anything to worry about when you leave to start over.  Get a new cell phone #, and just go, (preferably to a big city somewhere in the heartland or in the south, since ppl. are so nice in those parts).  Leave behind anything that would leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Next, you need to get references, or research online for the best psychologist in your area... You need someone you can talk to in confidence who will help you. Try a Christian psychologist - (Hopefully you are open to the idea).

Next, I know this seems like a stretch... but if you are currently on a birth control pill, do some research on it.  I was at the point you are once.  I noticed myself getting worse & worse month after month.  I found out it was an extreme depression - a side effect from the pill.  I don't wish this on anyone ever! It turned me upside down & left me empty... so at least look into it.  Don't rule that out.  

If that definitely isn't the problem, then get to the root of what's making you feel this way & eliminate it from your life.

Last but definitely not least, pray to God Almighty... Put your trust & faith in Him & He will get you through this.  

Best wishes! I hope you feel better soon

Answer 4

"Here I am, wherever I go" .  Depression is an illness.  If you had a cold you could not move away from it. If you want to take action to change your life see a doctor as soon as possible and describe exactly what you are feeling.  I wish you serenity

Answer 5

Bring some muffins with you, at least.
