I keep feeling like I want to just run away from everything, does anyone else feel like this?

I don’t like my life at the moment. I can’t change any of it and I find it overwhelming. I’ve been away for the weekend and feel really down having to come back home.

Sometimes life is so heavy. My health is not great I have chronic fatigue, my mums has M.S and this last week is having trouble walking. She is really my only support with my daughter so now I don’t know how to drop her to school and pick up on days I’m at work. Working is getting hard as I’m so tired all the time.

My daughter is also starting contact with her dad after a few years not seeing him. I have to juggle that plus the knowledge that he is abusive. Life is hard and I really wish I could run away from it all.

Can your daughter go in before and after school club ?

Have you talked to anyone about how you feel? Friend, family or a professional? You sound very low and nows probably a good time to get some support to help you deal with the hard stuff going on in your life. We all have to go through shitty times and it's healthy to seek support.

Can you access counselling through work? Or GP or privately if you have the means. That could give you a structured support /plan which may help.

Sorry things are so tough. Reaching out is a good way to deal with it all so give yourself credit for looking at ways to cope.

Sometimes I feel the same. Life is hard, but the tough times don’t last forever and it’ll get easier soon. One day at a time is what I tell myself!

I’ve talked to boyfriend and friends but I’m wary I just sound like I’m complaining. I’m just getting fed up now of feeling like I’m treading water and only scraping by surviving all the time. Each corner I turn something else goes wrong.
