To get sudden overwhelming feelings that I want to run away

[ArtfulRubyKoala]

Sometimes I get hit with this overwhelming, almost nostalgic longing to run away and be free. This is completely out of character and something I would never do, I had a very unstable upbringing and have always craved the ‘boring’ normality that my life is now, but the intensity of this fleeting feeling to just quit everything and go scares me sometimes.
Anyone else?

Yes I get this feeling.
I often think about " missing persons" -those that go off to work or shopping or go for a walk , something really mundane, and then just disappear. And their families and friends have no idea where they are. I know some of them have been the victim of something tragic but a lot are just walking out of their old lives to start afresh somewhere new. It's really awful for those left behind not knowing what has happened but I really understand the temptation to walk out of a life that's difficult.
