Do you think you are having an episode that will run it's course if you can manage to not a make any terrible, impulsive decisions that make your situation worse? Do you have a therapist you can talk to? We can start ruminating about all the things that are wrong (I have been there) and all the thinking makes it seem worse (not that it isn't a bad situation). Whenever you want to do something like run away--either sleep on it or plan it for a future date so you have time to really think about whether it is right or wrong and get feedback from others. I agree with Wild Coyote that you may not feel right about leaving your family while you sleep because it will hurt/traumatize them. That might create guilt later that will make you feel depressed.
Thanks for that. I don’t work, i’m receiving disability from my former state employment. Which means I’m around my husband all the time. I used to be the only person working though, I’ve always been the only person with a full time job. For 16 years. He’s worked part time some. I just can’t believe my family is only supported by me being sick. Once my SSDI comes through, they can all get benefits, so they won’t need me to stay around financially anymore. I doubt I can talk to my therapist without an appointment, knowing the front desk staff there.

Now my husband says he is not feeling well, so I have to take my girls to school. This is not good. Like I’m feeling up to that. It just gives me a chance to leave.

I will try not to though. I will try to come back home. I just don’t know how long I can stay. It is so hard. I just wish there was a cheap way to get to Durham.
