Yeah I did that once, the best feeling of my life. I gave my car away and all my other possessions, packed a bag of clothes and moved to Europe. I never felt so free in all my life.

Oh yeah...all the time :'(

Oh, yes.

NO. I am so stuborn,to me if it isn't my way it's the highway.So I am happy with my choices,and my decisions I have made. It does get tough sometimes;the bills pile up and no one but me realizes how far down in the shithole we are. BUT I feel like I am living for the moment. To hell with saving for retirerment,college,trips whatever. When we can affoard something we do it. We buy the toys we want now instead of waiting till we are too sore to enjoy them.It is working for me,may not work for you.All I can say is...Relax,enjoy,and take what life is offering you with a smile(it can always be worse!)

Yes. I want to run naked on a beach. I want to party until 4am instead of getting up for work at 4am. I want to laugh and be the life of the party. I want to kick off my shoes and dance. Then I remember that is not my place in life. I work so that everyone else can have a job. I am the one who cleans up after them when they make mistakes. I am the one who stays in the background doing the dirty work so that they can all have the lives that they want. I am the one who stays behind so that they are free to go. I love all of them, so I guess it is all good.

It gets to me every fucking day and i would love to just walk away right now.

No need to talk to me about bullshit, iv'e got plenty, lol

definitely

yea. sometimes i get screwed by life too. but it could be so much worse. -if people say "too bad your parents split when you were so young" i always respond "yea but thank god they're not married now." my parents gave me a great life separately. -if people say "i'm sorry you got kicked out of your dad's house" i respond "yea but we talk more now and our relationship is great and at least i haven't been kicked out of my mom's house" -if people say "it's too bad you've never traveled that far" i'm always happy to respond by saying "yea but i live in california and i've been to disneyland countless times and we're happy" -if people say "too bad you don't have a huge nice house" i respond "at least i can clean it on my own and we all live in it comfortably" -if somebody says "too bad you have depression" at least i'm happy i don't take meds and i can cope with it on my own for the most part -when people apologize that i've been cheated on, i'm just happy i didn't stay with the same guy -when people apologize for me being molested/almost raped, i'm just happy that there's an "almost" and the guys are being punished. ...really. i'm quite happy with my life and all the bittersweet moments and broken edges because in all honesty i can't stand picture perfect life anyways

Every damn day!

oh yah

no, not really... my life is not bad at all....

Of course.

Yep, it has crossed my mind more than once, but I could never really do it. My family means way too much to me...in fact, they ARE my life. :-)

Every damn day of my life....the trick is to make a evil plan to ignore everyone with out them knowing.

yes i have, but i had my friends to help me through it.

My life could be described as quite difficult. Those who know, would agree. I have often considered just dropping all of it and starting anew elsewhere. Two major problems: One: I know I am a major pillar of support for my family currently (my parents and siblings), if I leave much could go very badly for them. It is not my fault that they are in this situation, but you help family as much as you can. If I opt out now they stand to lose a lot. Two: My agoraphobia stops me from just starting over. I have a hard time dealing with people I do not know well, and I have a dreadfully difficult time with unfamiliar places. It would be infinitley better for me to leave but worse for everyone else who is dependant on me. In summary: I really want to escape but loyalty and fear keep me fixed and almost trapped in a fairly bad situation.

i wish i could, but these emotional attachments won't let me. life IS bs.

I do feel like that at times. You get sick of dealing with all the things going on in your life especially when it seems like there is one things after another. Sometimes it is way to much to take. Good luck if you are going through a lot and I hope that it gets better.

yea

Sometimes, yeah. I just want to quit my job, take out a huge loan, make a movie and hope for the best.

26, Just moved to upstate NY from long island where i lived my whole life. Waiting tables going back to school. I feel like the oldest 26 year old on the planet, but I literally just walked away from my life, everything that was holding me back. No huge family problems, never did drugs, not a big drinker. I could just feel my life was going in a direction I didn't want it to. Sometimes its just as bad to have 100 little problems then one big problem to blame. But yea, life got to me.

Yes, I would drop everything and make a name for myself, but I'm broke. What's a broke man to do?

Years ago when my ex kept taking me back to court just to be combative. He kept it up for eleven years. All I wanted to do was take my children and run!

Every single day for the last 3 years, but where to go, huh?

No, but the B/S on AB does/has, and yes I've felt like walking away.

Sometimes, but the good times make up for the momentary lapses in judgment.

yeah, and it sucks to realize that it's not always as easy as it sounds either

yes but i keep my head up and i keep holding on because i know it will get better

Yup. But you can often take that Bullshit and use it to help plant a beautiful garden. Just have to figure out how to do it :)

yes, and i would do it too but my s/o has a 4yr old daughter that he shares custody with her mother so we wouldnt be able to. i respect that and i would never try to take him away from his daughter and i would never leave him either of course but i think moving to NY with him will help that feeling. itll be nice to start over in a new place

Yes ... sometimes we all have moments of doubt ... yet with positive thought and determination ... we can all turn an average day into a greater day. It's by our own doing the choice of road that we follow ... If one works hard enough to make each moment brighter ... the sun will shine sooner or later. When I do have an average moment ... I think of others worse off than myseelf ... I then realize that my stomach is full, there is a roof over my head and I have people who care. Thankyou (no offense intended)

Walk...no run sometimes and run fast!

Yes, yes, yes, and even MORE yes! Unfortunately I can't do that because I'm too deeply in love...

on a daily basis...sadly enough i cant do it either b/c im in love.

Yeah it does and sometimes, as much as i try, i can't shake it, so i just have to walk away. I take some time out, change direction and come back when i have a better perspective on things.

Yes, done it twice.

yes hes supported me 100% mentally, emotionally, and financially while i went to rehab for 6 months. i really cant help him, he has to help himself first...alli can do is be here for him when he wants the help ya know? i cant force him to do anything hes not willing to do.

Yes. If I had unlimited funds I would buy a small island somewhere and be the crazy old hermit.

sometimes I would like to buy a bottle of JD and walk into the ocean

EVERY DAY....the bullshit of life gets to me. But my biggest pet peeve these days is associating with people who think they are so SELF RIGHTEOUS...but are SOOO HYPORCRITICAL.....times like those is when I drop everything and walk away...dumb bitches

yes, sometimes i just want to walk into an uncharted woods and live off the land for the rest of my life...

Definitely! I was on the verge of doing just that when I became romantically involved with my best friend and then married her last Novemeber. Now I have someone with whom to be a maverick! : D

Yes!! Walk away, but never give up.lol Sometimes things seem so difficult. What I find helps me is if I change the course.. Take a class, rearrange my schedule, take a trip. Those are mini-escapes, then i can concentrate on what the real issues are.

Right now.... I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO JUST RUN AWAY FROM MY LIFE!

I think about that everyday. I think about how much time I've wasted doing nothing. I don't have any great memories or experiences. Never done anything on a whim. I've always just played it safe. I own a house and live with someone and I can't just walk away from those things. I have no passion. I spend all at work surfing the internet and all night watching tv and pickling my liver. Sorry to rant. If you can walk away, do it.

Yes, I have two young boys who drive me up the wall and my husband thinks just b/c he worked that day that he doesn't have to deal with them. So i just wnat to drop them off at a friends or relatives and GO!!!

Yes right now. I just want to be free.

It doesn't really get to me anymore. It really is a relief when you let go of the burden of the past and move on with your life.

That sounds like HEAVEN! Life's been serving me bull for the last 3 years.

Everyone has their days when nothing goes right. But I know that it's temporary and that things will look up in a day or so. All the little things in life aren't worth sweating over.

Just take a new path on life. Go do something fun or crazy that you have never done before. Just don't give up. Take a break off things for a bit. That is what helped me.

yes the presure of my ex got to much and i moved 200 miles away from him

I dont think youre human if at some point in our lives we dont feel that way

Absolutely. Every single day lately. The trick is to actually do it...at least in small moments or hours...just let it all go and forget yourself...forget your problems. Go out with friends when you don't feel like it...go somewhere new by yourself...just do something...anything to break from the norm.

yep i still want to live in a field with nothing and probably will someday soon

Yes, everyday. i often want to up and leave everything. i have purposely not given myself any ties to this place so i can do that as soon as i have enough money.
