Sometimes I get this thought in my head.
What if I sold all my belongings, took all my money, and got on the next transportation out of the country?
How long would it take for someone to notice I was gone? And who would notice first? Friends? Debt collectors?
I would never actually do it, but sometimes I entertain the thought.
I don’t know where I’d go or how I’d survive, but sometimes I feel like I might as well make a run for it and see where I end up.
Does anyone else have these thoughts? What do you do when the thought strikes?
Hard to do it when you have no money but I used to think about moving all the time. Couldn’t stay in one place for over a month without running away. Until they raised abilify, since the problem fixed.
I’ve had this thought before, too. I haven’t done it, though, because it wouldn’t be practical for me. I wouldn’t be able to get my meds if I just up and moved away. My parents would probably have the cops or a detective looking for me. (They had to hire a private detective to find my uncle when he disappeared for a while. He was living on the streets somewhere when they found him.) All in all, it is still a romantic notion that I entertain sometimes.
I moved out of the country and out of the continent to a land with a foreign language. I like my situation here but having to learn a new language is slow and painful for me, especially since I’m not good at memorizing words :-/
I don’t know. It’s just a feeling I sometimes get.
That it would be easier for everyone I know if I just disappeared.
Or it would be better to start a new life somewhere else.
I wouldn’t do it, but I sometimes entertain the thought
I’ve been considering moving to Florida and shutting off pretty much everyone except my family for a while, not sure if that’s a symptom of something or normal
I’ve had the idea to pack a suitcase and run while last year. Voices would tell me to get out of here, run away. I entertained the idea at times, but then I wondered how I would get money to survive. In the end, I never went through with it, though I considered it a multitude of times.
I’ve been thinking about taking off to New England or Scotland, except that it probably gets really cold in Scotland and New England. Maybe I could save up my money and buy some cold weather camping gear. Just kidding. I’ll probably stay put.
I was depressed about not having that option, until my long-divorced mom goes to her high school reunion and falls in love with a guy who lives exactly where I’ve always wanted to live since age 20 (San Francisco bay area). Now it looks like I’m going to be moving there, I had saved up and she was going to help, then she got hit by a car and it looks like there will be a cash settlement.
I’m actually going to get to leave all the heartbreak attached to this place (northern VA) behind. I know some people say you’re you no matter where you go, but I really feel like I thrive out here.
Don’t mean to sidetrack your thread or anything nova, but I’m gonna do it myself and I’ve always wanted to. However I don’t have a significant other or family of my own to worry about, literally no attachments. If I had those I’d probably be kinda stressed, but there’s always skype.
I have been thinking about leaving a happy loving peaceful home with three dogs and a great boyfriend and moving interstate to my family.
I love my boyfriend and in two years we barely have had a single fight but I wonder if that’s because I’ve “sacrificed “ my beliefs etc such as eating meat though I want to be a vegan (he will break up with me if I go vegan because he thinks it will make me sick which will make him sick), being quiet when I disagree and just quietly saying “I disagree”… have I been a weak person yes.i even let him vote for me last year when I was confused but we are on opposite sides politically .
He is right winged I’m probably voting greens this year or labour.
His dad is severely sick so I’m not leaving him right now.
I want to support him through it despite that he has heaps of friends and family.
So I’m waiting .
See how things go.
But yeah I want to pack up and leave but I can not drive interstate by myself and I do t gave anyone to drive with me etc
I left Sweden to move to Australia and glad I did except regret leaving my dog.
My friend I had said I have skin on my nose.
“Skinn på näsan”
I moved overseas for a couple of years back in the noughties. Went for a trip with one suitcase for a month or so and just ended up staying. I can relate to your thoughts. I got back to Australia a couple of years later and I’ve gotten rid of most of my stuff. I used to collect books, cd’s etc. Over time I’ve digitized most of my stuff so I can travel light if the needs arise!
I think that experience of living out of one suitcase for a time really left an impression on me. I don’t need a lot of stuff to be happy. I also like the idea that I have nothing holding me down! I could, quite happily just up and leave. Money always is an issue though!
