Running away.

Have you ever just wanted to disappear? To walk out the door and become someone else? 1000's of people do but I don't know how they manage it. I once wanted to escape, go to Australia or somewhere but I didn't go through with it.

How about you?

Catch you in the morning. Bedtime in Switzerland.

During my marriage I used to have this fantasy of leaving work, driving to the airport, buying a ticket and just flying away. Not telling anybody that I was leaving.
I still have it actually.

If I could escape from my location, I could never escape from myself. So, I'd be miserable or manic just in a different location.

Ahhhh! Switzerland. I have heard that you live in a fabulous country. Everyone has healthcare, food etc. Is this true? I'll run away to your house and you can live in Sunny SW FL. I hate the heat. ;)

Oh yes and tried to run away but told everyone where I was but it was 8 to 12 hrs from everyone. Know what? Doesn't fricking matter how far you run the shit is still there we bring it with us. The only difference is we have no safety net to fall back on, to be there when we do need them. Stayed 3 yrs and then came home, and that is hard too cause for those 3yrs I learned to lean on nobody so was even more uncomfortable with people. Should have stayed and just dealt with it here.

I live in the sticks in GA , and the first time I was getting out of rehab for a manic psychodic episoide, I was still a little manic because I had everythign planned out to just gun it to FLORIDA!! :)
But I thought about it and I was already in debt and no family , so I would pretty much be a beach bum. lol

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
