When the little stuff mounts up and you just want to escape from everything for a bit

[JustNeedTimeOut]

I just got an exam result a lot worse than I expected and I'm absolutely gutted. I put in so much work and I have no idea where I went wrong. Feel like it's the final straw. I just want to be left alone to just exist and not think about or do anything for a bit.

I'm stressed out about work, my health, I'm very isolated... I have some social/communication/comprehension difficulties that affect everything. There's nothing drastically wrong in my life but all the little stuff is mounting up and I feel like I'm rapidly heading towards a dead end with work/education. I'm out of options to better my financial situation and that means I'll never have a family. I'm struggling with that.

Does anybody else ever feel like leaving everything for a bit? How do you deal with it without actually doing it? I know that saying 'fuck it all' for a couple of weeks ultimately wouldn't solve anything but that doesn't stop me fantasising about leaving my phone at home and locking myself in a hotel room somewhere to do nothing but mindlessly watch films for a week or two.

Hi OP,
You most definitely are not alone. I understand how it feels to get a bad exam result. Do you go to university? I feel like there is so much pressure to do well.
You prepared well for it, which is great. If you go to university, can you talk to your professor/lecturer about what you missed? I find that this helps.
You WILL have a family one day if you really want one. Just keep telling yourself that it will happen with time. I understand that feeling.
There's something my DM always told me: "Would you talk to/about your friends the way you talk about yourself?" Most likely the answer is no. Treat yourself like your friend.
