This isn’t urgent, i just am constantly thinking about it.

[Guest]

I keep planning ways i’m going to run away. I’m not physically abused, i was sexually abused at one point, maybe a little neglected but whatever. Everything is so.. melancholy. I probably sound ungrateful, but just hear me out. If i was to leave my house, able to do, whatever, I’d be free. I feel so held down, trapped. I think if i was out of my town, i’d have the best time of my life. Maybe i’d come back, or maybe i’d just keep exploring. It sounds so selfish, my family would worry(ehh maybe) my friends would be scared for me. I’ve talked to my friends about leaving before, and they didn’t respond badly. I need to have the courage heh. Anyone else struggle with mental health issues that make you feel like this?
