I want to run away

Health and Recovery

I am married with two young kids. I love them very much. I take care of them.

But I want to run away. I am a burden, and I am too much for them.

Your family would fall apart without you,

You’re probably the most important part of all of their lives.

You need to just take a few minutes to step aside and gain composure,

Remind yourself that you are not a burden and that everyone loves you.

I feel the same way sometimes, but that feeling passes, just like yours will.

Don’t run away @FlyingPurplePeopleMeeter, your family loves you and needs you!
This low mood shall pass.
Please reach out to your doctor if this feeling gets worse.
Take care of yourself!

I have these same thoughts. But I sit down and write in my journal all the things we would miss out on together. Trust me your family would be devastated. Don’t entertain those thoughts. I know it’s tough, but you can do it.

I feel the same way sometimes, but @GoldenRex is right.

Take a step back. You are needed. You are loved. You are worthy of whatever burden you pose.

Everyone is a burden if you want to look at the world like that. Your husband is a burden. Look at all you do for him. Your kids are most assuredly burdens. But look at all you do for them? That is a lot of work that surely makes you worth something special.
