Author Topic: what to do about this feeling of "I want to run away from everyone I know"  (Read 1246 times)

So this has been troubling me for the last week (as the result of a break up) where I am majorly in content with my life. school is a bitch and its such a drag now because there's no work left and I can't walk in the hallways comfortably for the fear that I will see my ex-girlfriend, more-so I might have to go to a psychiatrist because of depression coupled with the fact that I'm not even allowed to contact said ex-girlfriend, and now nobody likes me in that "way", meanwhile she has like 4 dudes that like her like that and she seems to be having a blast. The two people online that I talk to I think I pissed off and one Barely even responds anymore (after having a brief conversation where they outline how their life is worse and nobody wants them even though I would totally love somebody like that), and my irl friends just keep telling me that this feeling of pure stuff will end because they went through it too, yet nobody seems to understand that that advice is useless because damn I wish it could be 3 months from now but it isn't and I still feel like stuff even though people keep trying to tell me it will stop but it's not stopping. and my mother and brother think I'm loving nuts now and I have to get depression medication. I think I would be so much happier if I just ran away and never had to see or interact with anyone I ever knew before. Does anyone else get this feeling? it loving sucks. less sleeping, less eating, not even enjoying myself anymore because I feel so stuffty that I can't focus on anything and sometimes I violently tremble in some loving classes because I'm so uncomfortable.

forums what do

Just gotta push through yo
go see that psychologist too, that should help
don't be afraid to vent to them, it's their job

I'm no consular, but my advice is:

1) Meet new people. Maybe you'll find others like you, or a new love interest.

2) If you haven't already, pick up a relaxing hobby.

what relaxing hobbies are there

come live with me in scumburg

I have the same feeling all the time.

I am afraid to get my license for the fact I might just get in the car and just drive

everything else is palaver

you're sad about a breakup and now everything seems bad. you're trying to compound all your problems in order to feel justified in being sad about a breakup.

try eating some pizza.

Sorry, hanging out with random dudes isn't my schtick. It's cool that I moved near forumers though.

what relaxing hobbies are there
you could pick up playing an instrument like a Annoying Orangeet/saxophone/guitar, you could get mad bitches.

what relaxing hobbies are there

Drawing, writing, music (like Burton suggested), fishing, sculpting, building in Blockland, etc. You'll find your niche sooner or later.

try eating some pizza.

Don't eat too many slices, though. You'll have better luck finding a new partner if you're in the best shape you can be.


If you really want to do it, start driving, get on the freeway, and start screaming as loud as you can for a while.

If you still feel like you want to jump ship when you're done with that, go home, clandestinely pack your bags, collect all your money including from the bank, and drive off.  If you do feel better after that carry on as normal and repeat as needed.

What helps me, personally, is going for a walk.  Surrounded by nature, I literally have to force myself to think about my troubles; I go out for walks not to collect my thoughts, but to escape them, and it works like a charm.

Sounds to me though like you're still in the thick of your emotions and you just want to stew in your own juices.  So if you like, put Simon and Garfunkel on repeat, write your incoherent emotional ramblings down on paper (I recommend burning said paper soon after, or burying it if you see fit), and let the pain flow for a while; just be sure to pull out of your tailspin after a couple weeks.

When you've independently reached the conclusion that you won't always feel this way, go outside and do some hard work that makes you sweat buckets, it'll dispel whatever's left of your pains.

That's what's worked for me in past and present.
