This is weird- I don't want to kill myself, I mean, I am not suicidal. But in the past couple of days a very strong feeling of wanting to run away and go missing has taken hold.
I mean, I can't do this and I won't do it- I have two dcs, no money, and a job I've only recently started.
But I sort of imagine just grabbing a bag and some cash and walking and just not stopping until I find myself somewhere else altogether.
I don't think this is quite right.
In context, it's been a bad few years in many ways.
In 2008 I had two mcs
In 2009 I had dc2 but split up with exh though live together. I also walked out of my job and was unemployed with newborn.
In 2010 I lost my grandmother. Started new job.
In 2011 I met my exp who was very abusive
In 2012 I moved out of family home and set up alone with joint custody. Split up with abusive exp. grandmother very ill in hosp for a long time.
2013 back with exp for a while, even worse. Dad had heart attack. Started new job. Abusive exp moved to city where I live.
It's been a roller coaster five years and I feel I have pressed the self destruct button or at least the destruct button on every area of my life.
Exh very amicable, a 'model' separation. Friends around. Good job- responsible job. BUT I'm not sitting easily in my skin. I feel I'm a bit of a mess inside. I'd love in some ways to just evaporate and wake up somewhere else. Why can't I just be in my own life?
I'm having counselling, it's helpful, but I just feel completely odd.
What is the matter with me?
