Hi
I have wanted to run away for a long time about three years and have planned to at least three weeks out of every month. I have depression and OCD. I want to take my life but I cant to it. My parents expect more from me than is possible and are freaked out about life in general. I feel very guilty because of what I put them though and yet I think they don't love me. I am probably going to runaway sometime soon. My school people don't bully me but ignore me but I feel bad because I HATED my last school and this one I hate less but still don't like it. I also feel guilty because a lot of people are way more messed up and need more help than I do and yet I still don't to anything about it and that a lot of people have helped me. Please help me.

RE: Please Help Me

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us during this difficult time. It sounds like you are under a lot of pressure from your parents. You mentioned that you have switched schools and are facing complex issues there as well. Although we are glad to hear you are not being bullied, it sounds like you feel isolated and alone there instead. Have you tried talking to anyone at school about this?
You also mentioned that you struggle with depression, OCD and thoughts of suicide. If you are feeling like hurting yourself or committing suicide, the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK(8255) is a 24-hour hotline that would be glad to talk to you. It sounds like you have also had issues with your parents as well. It can be difficult to have so many pressures on you with no outlet. Have you ever run away before? We would be more than happy to find you shelters or talk about your reasons for leaving.
Here at the National Runaway Safeline, we do not tell you what you should or should not do. Instead we can help you explore options, and offer any resources that may be of use to you. We can be reached 24/7 at 1-800-RUNAWAY(786-2929). We can also be reached by live chat from 4:30-11:30pm Central Standard Time at www.1800runaway.org. We look forward to hearing from you and wish you the best of luck!
